Reflective Report
I had a best experience of my life from all modules of that workshop. I really enjoyed it and
learnt many helpful things form that workshop. It was interesting at the learning point of view
as a student as well as professional person. It was based on the design thinking and it was
related developing prototypes for different products that were used in our assignment.
I missed first class of design it module. In second class, I set myself for full attention for
learning from teacher and activities held on in that module. Reyaz Jeffrey was my lecturer for
that module. Lecturer made some plan of gifting some cash vouchers for few lucky students,
who are not missing classes and on time in the classes (Asheim, 2007). Design thinking and
process management was the topic of this week module. I learnt a lot about design thinking
from that week. Design thinking is a process in which you can create your ideas and convert
them in an innovation for solving a problem. It was not like designing work (Brown & Wyatt,
2010).
Design thinking was an approach of creative thinking for the positive impact in the front of
society. From design thinking, you introduced innovation for solving commercial as well as
social problems (Drucker, 2014). We had an activity in that module, which was based on the
video of ‘shopping card design thinking project’. There was some questionnaire also, which was
related to that video. Lecturer assigned some assignment, one was poster designing. We were
also showed few of the posters of previous class students (Hobcraft, 2017). It was totally based
on the idea of creativity and relativity. Both are required for designing of the poster, which was
our next assignment given by lecturer. I learnt about design and business with the help of
design thinking tools. I also study about some innovation stories for getting more knowledge
about the innovation (Kuratko, 2005). I found many differences between business and design in
different perspectives, such as methods, processes, values, levels of focus, and understand. We
learned that, what is innovation and what is not an innovation in that module (Martin, 2009).
Design thinking was not always creative, drawing, fashion, painting, and sculpting. Innovation
