Design Thinking: Exploring Solutions, Innovation, and Methods

This report examines design thinking as a method for solving problems and fostering innovation. It emphasizes the use of divergent thinking, exploring how it contributes to the creation of innovative solutions. The report outlines the design process, including empathizing with users, defining problems, ideating solutions, prototyping, and testing. It also considers the relationship between design thinking and lean innovation, highlighting the importance of both divergent and coherent thinking. The report discusses the benefits of design thinking, such as its ability to address complex issues, and the potential drawbacks, such as increased complexity. It also includes a list of relevant references.

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
