“Design is not art; it is about pragmatic compromise rather than perfection.”

Bill Buxton, Principal Scientist at Microsoft Research

“There's something odd going on when business and political leaders flatter design with potentially holding the key to such big and pressing problems, and the design community looks the other way.”

Kevin McCullagh http://www.core77.com/blog/featured_items/design_thinkingeverywhere_and_nowhere_reflections_on_the_big_re-think__16277.asp

“For now, the business community seems to have the ball, and it's running with it. But designers can't afford not to be a part of this conversation. If you opt out, the purpose and value of the wider discipline of design is going to get twisted and subverted by well-meaning individuals who don't know what they're talking about. Designers, surely, need to be at the heart of the design thinking discussion.”

“Design thinking is an approach that uses the designer’s sensibility and methods for problem solving to meet people’s needs in a technologically feasible and commercially viable way. In other words, design thinking is human-centered innovation.”

Tim Brown http://www.ideo.com/thinking/approach/

Page 20: Design thinking (ux australia)

“[Design thinking] means stepping back from the immediate issue and taking a broader look. It requires…  …systems thinking…  …deep immersion into the topic…  …tests and frequent revisions…  …done in groups… Perhaps the most important point is to move away from the problem description and take a new, broader approach.”

Familiar

  Empathy  Collaboration  Prototyping   Iteration  Broader context

Page 22: Design thinking (ux australia)

It isn’t all so familiar

  Innovation not optimisation

  Solving problems, not designing interactions

  Advocated by businesses, not designers   They use terms like “abductive

reasoning” and “synthesis”

“The most successful businesses in the years to come will balance analytical mastery and intuitive originality in a dynamic interplay that I call design thinking. Design thinking is the form of thought that enables forward movement of knowledge, and the firms that master it will gain a nearly inexhaustible, long-term business advantage.” Roger Martin: http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/content/ oct2009/id20091014_072850_page_2.htm

Page 24: Design thinking (ux australia)

“…the prescription is not to embrace abduction to the exclusion of deduction or induction, nor is it to bet the farm on loose abductive inferences. Rather, it is to strive for balance. Proponents of design thinking in business recognise that abduction is almost entirely marginalised in the modern corporation and take it upon themselves to make their companies hospitable to it.”

Roger Martin From The Design of Business

“I now believe that CEOs and managers must know Design Thinking to do their jobs. CEOs must be designers and use their methodologies to actually run companies. Let me be even more precise. Design Thinking is the new Management Methodology.”

“…long live the phrase "design thinking." It will help in the transformation of design from the world of form and style to that of function and structure. It will help spread the word that designers can add value to almost any problem, from healthcare to pollution, business strategy and company organization...”

Don Norman http://www.core77.com/blog/columns/design_thinking_a_useful_myth_16790.asp

Page 33: Design thinking (ux australia)

“…When this transformation takes place, the term can be put away to die a natural death. Meanwhile exploit the myth. Act as if you believe it. Just don't actually do so.”

Are businesses really interested in design thinking?

Page 35: Design thinking (ux australia)

The figures are compelling

Page 36: Design thinking (ux australia)

Shares in design-led businesses outperform key stock market indices by 200%

Where design is integral, less than half of businesses compete mainly on price, compared to two thirds of those who don’t use design

On average, design alert businesses increase their market share by 6.3% through using design

“That’s the worst thing you could possibly do!”

“That is far too complicated. It makes the current solution look good.”

“That would make me actively discourage my clients from using it.”

Do you…

a)  Tell them that you don’t do “design thinking” b)  Tell them that what they’re after isn’t actually

called design thinking and that they should refer to it as design strategy, or something we’re far more comfortable with, or else you won’t do the work

c)  Ask them when they want you to start
