Definition of Design Thinking
Design Thinking is an approach that applies the processes and mindsets used by designers in problem-solving and new idea generation to other fields. It begins with deeply understanding
user needs and challenges (empathy), involves generating diverse ideas, shaping them into tangible forms (prototypes), and rapidly repeating testing and refinement.
The goal is to create innovative solutions that are valuable to users.
In a single phrase, it can be described as a "human-centered approach to problem-solving.
" A key characteristic is its constant focus on the user's perspective throughout the thinking process, while also considering technical feasibility and business sustainability.
Principles of Design Thinking
There are several important principles that underpin Design Thinking:
-
Human-Centeredness: Continuously and deeply understand users' needs, emotions, and behaviors, placing them at the core of solutions. Through empathy, we explore what users truly desire.
-
Collaboration (Co-creation): Teams composed of individuals with diverse expertise collaborate, leveraging their respective perspectives and knowledge. By involving users themselves in the process, we create solutions that better align with their needs.
-
Experimentation and Iteration: Instead of aiming for a perfect solution from the outset, we rapidly create prototypes, learn through testing, and iterate on improvements. We embrace failure and value the feedback gained from it.
-
Holistic Perspective: We strive to understand the entire picture rather than focusing on isolated parts of a problem. This involves integrally considering multiple aspects such as technology, business, and user needs.
-
Visualization: Ideas and concepts are concretely expressed and visualized not only through words but also using sketches, diagrams, prototypes, and other methods. This deepens shared understanding within the team and facilitates smooth communication.
