Reflection
Module 1
This week was very interesting for me because I was existed to understand thing process of
design. In this week, I gained my understanding of concepts, theories, practices, and their
interrelationships as it could be imperative for the accomplishment of the desired goal. In
this, my tutor suggests each student of class to start thinking in the context of the design. In
addition, it is also examined that design thinking process could be imperative in making a
reliable decision (Liebmann, Zeng, Zhu, Yuan, Bouche, & Kye, 2016, June). Under this
week, I gained my understanding in the context of design thinking process and procedure that
will aid to effective thinking about design. Moreover, I also enhanced my understanding of
the entrepreneurship, and venture capitalist. I also understood that what entrepreneurs do to
perform any activity. It is also observed that entrepreneurship is the procedure where an
individual has an opportunity to accomplish any unique task in limited time as well as cost.
Under this, I also understood that innovation is the process that is practiced to accomplish any
task in a creative way. It is about the creating culture in which the organization tries to hold
risk and learn from mistakes (Luger, Urquhart, Rodden, & Golembewski, 2015, April). I also
gained my understanding of the innovation process that could be imperative in the innovation
in the process as it coulda consider certain steps like search, select, implement, and capture.
There is a certain aspect that could be imperative in the innovation process like incremental,
platform, component/architecture, and discontinuous. It could lead to making a reliable
decision in the favor of the design. Moreover, I also understood about the design thinking and
innovation as it could be imperative in the accomplishment of any unique or complex task in
leats time and cost (Cash, Hicks & Culley, 2015).

Module 2
This week was supportive to understand many skills about design processes like design vs
business process, design thinking processes and tools, design mindset, and innovation stories.
In this, I also gained my understanding about design process wherein I gained about creation
factor like emphasize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. In this week, I also enhanced my
understanding in the context of design procedure as it would be imperative to obtain a
positive result. I gained my awareness of certain steps like design procedure. I gained my
understanding in the context of many factors like discover, define, design, and deliver. It
could lead to obtaining a reliable outcome. In addition, it is also evaluated that the DT
procedure could be imperative in the design procedure like problem finding, observation,
visualization and sense-making, ideation, prototype and test, viability testing (Chapman,
2018). This module was imperative for understanding 4C’s design thinking in which I gained
my understanding of the content, collaborate, create, and content. Design thinking process a
supports to depth understanding in the context of specified research matter.
Module 4
In this module, I enhanced my understanding with respect to writing a blog. I also gained my
understanding of different situation like problem-solving vs problem finding, Problem
finding through spotting the obvious, Visualisation as a Design Thinking tool, and Persona’
as a Design Thinking tool. Moreover, I also gained my understanding in the context of the
design thinking principles like solving ‘wicked’ problems, human-centered and empathetic,
observation, visualization, prototyping, experimentation and active learning, and beginner’s
mindset’ (Creswell, 2013). It was imperative to understand about visualization that could
lead to applying imaginary to predict potentials as well as bring them into life (Kuo, Smith,
Smith, & Huang, 2016). This week was supportive to for imagination and successfully
implies it in the design thinking process.
