'Design Mindset' in the Context of Innovation

Establishing design mindset for inspirational design can assist the designers to develop optimal and effective processes. It is mainly utilized to solve any complex problem in the context of formulation, diagnosis, implementation and innovation strategy. Design mindset can minimal the risk of uncertainty by utilizing previous experience and engaging with customers. The framework is shown in the middle where the processes are clearly defined as discover, define, develop and deliver. The effectiveness is directly rely on the understanding people’s daily experience, identification of key themes and casual influence. Learn about the Design Value Index and the ten necessary skills for design thinking.

Design mindset can minimal the risk of uncertainty by utilizing
previous experience and engaging with customers. The
framework is shown in the middle where the processes are
clearly defined as discover, define, develop and deliver(Irwin,
2015). The effectiveness is directly rely on the understanding
people’s daily experience, identification of key themes and
casual influence. (Gaziulusoy, 2015).
In past, coca-cola, whirlpool, nike, IBM and apple performed
S&p 500 over 10 years by an extraordinary 219%,as shown in
the above figure, the innovative design is narrowed down by
research, concept and prototype. (Carlgren et al., 2016)
1. Complex problem solving
2. Critical thinking
3. Creativity
4. People management
5. Coordinating with others
6. Emotional intelligence
7. Judgment and decision making
8. Service orientation
9. Negotiation
10. Cognitive flexibility
The decision management institute as a design value index, based
on 16 publicly traded-stocks that are considered as “design-
centric” (Carlgren et al., 2014). The criteria reflects best design
management practice and these companies show a 211% return
over the S&P 500..
