Design Mindset & Innovation: Exploring Design Thinking Methodology

This report examines design thinking as a methodology for fostering innovation and creative problem-solving. It highlights the use of divergent thinking to develop coherent and analytical work processes while acknowledging potential disadvantages such as increased process complexity and adaptability issues. The report emphasizes key activities within design thinking, including empathy, definition, ideation, prototyping, and testing, all of which are interconnected and focused on identifying innovative and creative solutions. User needs and insights form the foundation for developing divergent design thinking, with a focus on understanding, exploration, and material processes. Desklib provides access to this and other solved assignments to aid students in their studies.

Design Mind-set (Design thinking in innovation)
Design thinking
•It is method to solve the
issue through the creative and
innovative way (Callahan,
2018).
•It promotes coherent and
divergent thinking.
•Approach to resolve the
issues.
•Use of divergent thinking
process (Yates, 2018).
Design Thinking
Activities
•Accompanied with Emphasis, define ideate,
prototype and test process
•Coherent use of divergent thinking to
strengthen the solution program (Curedale,
2018).
•All the process are interrelated and main focus
is made to identify the innovative and creative
solution.
•It lower down the complex process issue.
•User, need and insight are the base of
developing the divergent design thinking. .
•Focused on understand, explore and material
process (Yeager, et al. (2016).
