Design Thinking
Design Thinking
"Business schools tend to focus on inductive thinking (based on directly observable facts) and deductive thinking (logic and analysis, typically based on past evidence)," he writes.
"Design schools emphasize abductive thinking—imagining what could be possible. This new thinking approach helps us challenge assumed constraints and add to ideas, versus discouraging them.”

What is Design Thinking?Design thinking is “a discipline that uses the designer’s sensibility and methods to match people’s needs with what is technologically feasible and what a viable business strategy can convert into customer value and market opportunity.”

Implementation of Design Thinking (DT) in large firms
ExploratoryInterview study with 18 companies in Germany and theUSInterviewees: People central for the implementation of DT Collaboration with D.School Potsdam
Design Thinking practice
Picture of D-school process
Perceptions of the meaning of “design thinking”
• Process
• Design Methodologies
• Mindset(s)
• Principles
• Mindset and Methods
… and problems with the notion
Implementation of design thinking• Top-down or bottom up initiative
• Various sources of knowledge about DT
• Implementation set-up• Support Team• Facilitating team• Education
• Strategic use of projects for biggest impact
How design thinking is used
Strategic issues- Developing Strategies for going green- Redesigning HR policies
Projects- Development projects
- New products, new software applications
- Process improvement- solving complex problems
Individual level- As a different way to think about everyday
problems
Cherry picking

Perceived benefits of design thinking
Unexpected benefits:
• Improved communication
• Bridging of boundaries
• Increased speed of the development process
• Uncovering structural problems
• Culture change
Critique
• Less value created than expected, difficult to
measure
• Not addressing the business side
Implementation challenges Proving the value of design thinking• Showing proof of success early on• Traceability of impact on final product
Adaptation of the concept• IDEO concept too focused on products –
not software/services• Company context & culture• Time and cost constraints
Implementation challenges Organizational issues• Integration with existing processes and
structures • Tiredness of managerial concepts• Political barriers • Middle management not as convinced as
top management• Short term results vs. long term
perspective
Getting the right resources• Problem to get access to customers• Difficult finding the right people for teams
Next steps• Workshops with the participating
companies in the US/Germany
• Refining research purpose
• Deeper case studies in some of the companies during 2012
Next steps
Gift-Giving Brief: Redesign the gift-giving experience for your tablemate.
Build Customer Understanding
• The most important part of designing for someone is to gain empathy for that person.
• One way to do this is to have a good conversation. (interview)
• Partner A will have 3 minutes to interview Partner B, and then we will tell you when to switch.
Build Customer Understanding
As a starting point, ask your partner to tell you aboutthe last time they gave a gift.
Additional questions:• To whom did they give it? • Why was it meaningful? • How did they come up with the idea for the gift?• What was difficult about finding and giving this gift?

Defining the InsightsTry to synthesize your learning into a few ‘needs’ that you have discovered, and a few ‘insights’ that you find interesting.
• “Needs” should be verbs – things they are trying to do.
• “Insights” new learning's about your partner’s feelings/worldview to leverage in your design (make inferences).

Generate new ideas• Idea generation, not evaluation —
you can evaluate your ideas later• GO FOR VOLUME!• Be Visual – words just when necessary
5min
Collect user feedback• This is not just about testing your ideas. This is another
opportunity to learn more about your partner’s feelings and worldview.
• Spend the time listening to your tablemate’s reactions and questions.
• Fight the urge to explain and defend your ideas—see what they make of them!
