MGMT20140 Term 2 2018 Assessment 1: Design Mindset and Innovation

This assignment explores the concept of design mindset within the context of innovation. It defines design mindset as a process focused on innovative problem-solving, emphasizing its importance in decision-making. The project outlines the key stages of the design thinking process: empathize (understanding the audience), define (identifying needs), ideate (generating solutions), prototype (creating models), and test (analyzing ideas). The assignment references several academic sources to support the concepts, demonstrating a clear understanding of design thinking principles. The document also meets the assessment criteria by providing relevant information, using a minimum of five academic sources, adhering to the APA referencing system, and presenting a concise message. The project effectively uses structure, aesthetics, and layout to communicate its ideas, fulfilling the assessment requirements for a poster presentation.

Design mindset and innovation
Design mindset helps to consider

Process of design mindset
a.) first step is related with empathize in
which the people are the audience
b.) define : emphasis is given on the wants of
the people (Carlgren, Elmquist & Rauth,
2014).
c.) ideate in which the problems solutions are

(Lewis, 2015).
Meaning
Design mindset is a
process that focusing on
minimizing or creating
