What is Design Thinking Used For?
In an age when innovation is key to business success and growth, organizations utilize Design Thinking practices to achieve this success and growth.
Design thinking is a mindset and an approach to problem-solving and innovation anchored around human-centered design. It gained traction in the modern business world after Tim Brown, CEO and president of design company IDEO, published an article about it in the Harvard Business Review.
Design Thinking vs. Ideation
Design thinking is different from other innovation and ideation processes in that it’s solution-based and user-centric rather than problem-based. This means it focuses on the solution to a problem instead of the problem itself.
The essence of design thinking is human-centric and user-specific. It’s about the person behind the problem and solution, and requires asking questions such as “Who will be using this product?” and “How will this solution impact the user?”
