Methodology Of Design Thinking

Design thinking

When the word design comes to mind, people tend to think how the concept looks like but in reality, it is about how the concept works.

Design thinking is a methodology that is used by designers to solve complex problems by finding the desirable solutions for the clients. A design mindset is not problem-focused but it is solution-focused action oriented for creating a better future (Levick-Parkin & Hanson, 2015). Design thinking is based upon the logics imaginations intuition with systemic reasoning to explore possibilities of what could be done or to create desired solutions for the customer’s benefit.

This concept is divided into eight key elements. Firstly, discovering the topic and to collect information about the topic is important. It is better to choose an affirmative and strategic topic that can be resolved logically (Jahnke, 2013). It requires the ability to understand the feelings of the people by motivating them along with finding the solution to deal with the situation (Liedtka, 2015). Secondly, it requires looking upon the problem from different aspects to deal with the situation with new creative ideas, third along with the ideas the most important thing is to implement those ideas and to get the hands on experience (Johansson?Skoldberg, Woodilla & Çetinkaya, 2013). Lastly, it should be kept in mind that the way to success is not a straight path. There will be failures with implementing some ideas but this cycle of understanding creating and learning will surely help to get better result the more you go through the loops.

Along with the changes in all fields let it be with innovations or adoption of different lifestyle the problems of human life have also changed its means. Hence, Design thinking is surely going to help them dealing with random problem that can be solved utilizing different new concepts and ideas for making a better tomorrow. Thinking is not only a matter of logic but also it is an art (Carlgren, 2013). Creativeness is the main key for a thought to be distinguishable. Any big project or inventions are the result of well-structured and innovated design. It is important to design the thoughts in an affirmative approach.
