What is Design Thinking and Why Its Useful For
Everyone?

Design thinking What is it?

• Its a way of seeing anything. It is a lens. An
  approach. Perhaps, even a philosophy?

• Design thinking is a way of seeing anything. It
  is a lens. An approach. Perhaps, even a
  philosophy? It doesnt necessarily have to be a
  design-specific problem. 
• At the heart of it is a human perspective that
  asks, what are we solving for? What difference
  will it make to the human being involved?
• Being in the domain of designing user
  experiences, this specific approach has gained
  relevance for us. But academics say it has been
  used even in domains like architecture,
  engineering and business, for decades now. Which
  brings me to my next point.

Why is design thinking useful for everyone?

• Adopting a multi-pronged approach to thinking is
  increasingly relevant given that we live, work,
  play, interact in a more and more dynamic world
  where multiple realms intersect.
• Our pain-points are also dynamic and intersect
  other aspects of our lives.
• Businesses, educational institutions, players in
  the development sector, governments are all
  finding new ways to navigate our increasingly
  global and diversified populations to meet their
  plural needs.
• Imbibing a solutions-based approach which focuses
  more on the outcome, and the specific change
  required for the humans involved, rather than a
  problem-based approach which is more focused on
  removing obstacles, offers solutions that are
  wider in scope, sustainability and
  feasibility.Read More Information Why is

Why is design thinking useful for everyone?

• What makes sense to people and for people?

• Desirability

• What is technically possible within the
  foreseeable future?

• Feasibility

• What is likely to become part of a sustainable
  business model?

• Viability

HOW DOES EMPATHY-BASED THINKING MAKE A
DIFFERENCE?

• Probably the most important differentiator is
  that the design thinking process is not linear.
  Understanding this takes a shift in perspective. 
• There are 5 phases in the process, but often
  times the process may go back and forth, with no
  linear progression Empathise, Define, Ideate,
  Prototype, Test.
• Whether thinking for your own business, a client
  requirement, a personal circumstance or social
  context, Design Thinking encourages creativity
  and innovation. It pushes us to think outside the
  patterns and predictable habits that we are aware
  of, thereby creating plurality and uniqueness in
  solutions, and also flexibility in our own
  attitudes and ways of thinking.
