Design thinking is both an ideology and a process, that provides  a solution-based approach in solving complex problems in a highly user-centric way.

Design Thinking is a design methodology that provides a solution-based approach to solving problems.

 It’s extremely useful in tackling complex problems that are ill-defined or unknown,

·         by understanding the human needs involved,

·         by re-framing the problem in human-centric ways,

·         by creating many ideas in brainstorming sessions, and

·          by adopting a hands-on approach in prototyping and testing.

We will focus on the five-stage Design Thinking model i.e.

1)      Empathise,

2)       Define (the problem),

3)      Ideate,

4)      Prototype, and

5)      Test.

Understanding these five stages of Design Thinking will empower anyone to apply the Design Thinking methods in order to solve complex problems that occur around us — in our companies, in our countries, and even on the scale of our planet.

Note that the five stages are not always sequential — they do not have to follow any specific order and they can often occur in parallel and be repeated sequentially.

In this lesson, we’ll give you a detailed definition of design thinking, illustrate exactly what the process involves, and underline why it matters: What is the value of design thinking, and in what contexts is it particularly useful? We’ll also analyse real-life case studies.
