Why Design Thinking ???

Does Design Thinking sound complex or abstract when you say or utter it or it seems like a normal phrase only??

Actually I do not know what it is but I do believe for making any idea work or any module work or to accomplish any task, we do designing so that we can make things in place to work as expected or as thought of.

Design thinking helps you to identifying the problem then helps to give the solutions for the same as well.
Most of the problems' solutions lie within the problems itself if the problem statement is transparent and clear.
Identifying the problem itself generates lots of ideas to solve that problem.

How to identify a clear, transparent problem and how Design Thinking can help you in that. Let's bring something on plate to understand this.

 Design Thinking is pillared by it's 3E core elements.

- Empathy
- Experimentation
- Experience

How we identify a problem?? Where we see the pain or where we are empathized by others for their pain/concern, we see a problem so Empathy - to feel the pain which other's feel is a way to identify or seek for a problem.

When you identify a problem once, you become curious to solve it. Now to solve the problem you do lot of experiments on the ideas to solve the problem. Here core element Experimentation comes in picture.

Design Thinking says
Fail early, fail freely and fail inexpensively for this element.

When you do experimentation to solve the problem, you experience the outcomes/feedback from the people or from the observation which again loop the cycle of experimentation. Experience redefines the experimentation cycle and so this also play a role of core element in Design Thinking.

Want to write more, will continue....
