Design Thinking

Design thinking is an empathetic, broad-based, solution-seeking process that is widely used by numerous corporations to obtain optimal solutions to difficult and wicked problems.

Originally used by the design community to generate possibilities of solutions to problems that generally evade straightforward troubleshooting, design thinking methodology has been readily adapted by the business and engineering fields to tackle issues that are complex and require alternative trajectories in the search for viable resolutions.

The design thinking process invites participants and stakeholders to adopt a wide spectrum of investigative and analytical methods to gather qualitative and quantitative data, leading to often creative and humane solutions. Empathetic research, brainstorming and prototyping are some of the common methods used within the design thinking framework, often yielding a pool of rich and diverse solution-options for a design problem.
