Design Thinking Reflection Poster: Importance and Process - MGMT20140

This assignment involves designing an A2-sized poster for the MGMT20140 course, focusing on the critical role of personal reflection in Design Thinking. The poster is expected to communicate complex messages clearly through structure, graphics, and concise text, addressing the question of why personal reflection is so important for Design Thinking. The student's work demonstrates an understanding of the Design Thinking process, including the importance of self-reflection in enhancing problem-solving, improving communication, informing decisions, and visualizing outcomes. The solution incorporates the key steps of the design thinking process (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test) and references academic sources to support the concepts presented. The goal is to create a self-explanatory poster that effectively summarizes, prioritizes, and synthesizes information, showcasing the student's visualization and communication skills.
