Design Thinking: Inspiration, Ideation and Implementation

Design Thinking is more than just a trendy buzzword; it's a mindset and a process that can transform complex challenges into opportunities for positive impact. It focuses on being human-centered, collaborative, optimistic, and experimental, which allows for a more enjoyable innovation process that encourages resilience and progress. Design Thinking involves an iterative process that separates solution development from solution framing, allowing for ambiguity to be turned into a sharper understanding. It also provides a set of tools (such as visualization, journey mapping, prototyping, and storytelling) that can help identify and execute growth and innovation opportunities. Finally, Design Thinking encourages Divergent and Convergent thinking, together with Validity Seeking, which allows for multiple solutions and eventually arriving at the best one.
