Design Thinking: A Coherent and Divergent Approach to Innovative Problem Solving

Design thinking is a process that involves developing innovative solutions to complex problems using coherent and divergent thinking. It involves empathizing with users, defining the problem, ideating solutions, prototyping, and testing. This presentation discusses the benefits and disadvantages of design thinking and how it facilitates innovative problem solving. It also compares design thinking with lean innovation and provides insights from various studies.

Design thinking
Developing innovative resolution of the problems and
issues.
Use of Divergent thinking in process (Mosely, Wright,
& Wrigley, 2018).
Coherent thinking process to solve the complex issues.
Process of Design thinking
Construct the resolution process based on the user
needs.
Dealing with the problems and identifying the solutions.
Accompanied with the empathize, define, Ideate
prototype and test (Berthet, Hickey, & Klerkx,
(2018).
Design thinking and lean innovation are
the counter process for each other in
design thinking (Dosi,, Rosati, &
Vignoli,. (2018).
It requires coherent and divergent
thinking process.
Benefits
•Solve the complicated issues and complex.
•Development Divergent thinking and coherent
to create innovative work program.
Disadvantage
Increased complexity in the developed solution
