Design thinking – something new or old?

The name is newer. The process is old.

Anybody with common sense and adequate management training can understand the process of design thinking.

1. Empathize – Understanding the problem

2. Define the Problem – Analyze, Interpret and Plan.

3. Ideate – Imagine, research and ponder

4. Prototype – Apply creativity to create

5. Test – Review and revise

E.D.I.P.T

The best part is : It’s not a sequencial process. Rather, it’s a cyclical process.

It’s a way of determining solution and testing it real-time to understand the problem more.

And, in a way to provide a better and smarter solution.
