through slow progression
of stories.

Future Innovative Steps
 Brainstorming sessions
 Overcoming individual barriers
 Overcoming impulsive reaction
 Including best practices
 Getting ego out of the way
 Group thinking
 Overcoming man with Hammer
Syndrome

Design Thinking Processes
 Problem definition
 Brainstorming Ideas
 Communicating in non-verbal and
verbal manner
 Jotting down steps for problem
solving
 Creating strategies for arriving at
suitable recommendation

Challenges in
Implementing Design
Thinking Communicating challenges
 Individual egos and knowledge
overcoming
 Perception, beliefs and mindset
