       of a group member.

    interview

start by gaining empathy.

    interview again:


    dig deep

reframe the problem.

capture findings

insights: what have you learned
 about the person?

                      4 mins
reframe the problem.

                   (user) 
     a global sportswear company 
                  (need) 
    needs to redesign their employee
       performance review system 
                 (insight)

       consuming and does little to
         improve work practices

              Hassno Platner Institute of Design, Stanford University
so…





    what is 
  design
thinking?
one of many definitions 
(& none are quite right…)

    design thinking uses the
    designers sensibility & methods
    to match peoples needs with
    what is technologically feasible &
    what a viable business strategy
    can convert into customer value
    & market opportunity

                             tim brown
design thinking uses a
      human centred, creative,
    iterative, practical approach
         to problem solving.

                         tim brown
design thinking taps
    into capacities we all
    have but are often
    overlooked by more
    conventional problem
    solving practices


                   tim brown
design thinking core values

     human centredness |
    inquiry | empathy | iteration
    action orientation |
    collaboration | reflection |
    comfort with ambiguity |
    visualisation & prototyping
design thinking tools

       interviews | observation |
       conversation | synthesis |
       visualisation | heuristics |
       prototyping + + +
	
  
	
  
so…





    why 
  design
thinking?
it
starts
with…




                                     We are Snook
         http://web.fumsi.com/go/article/use/64147
ultimately about
    understanding
          needs
we increasingly expect 
sophisticated experiences
  that are emotionally
  satisfying and meaningful…

design thinking is an
  approach for imagining
  these experiences
    

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
                                 Brown, 2008
so… 





    design thinking...
what for?
design thinking for

 solving wicked problems | 
designing (human) systems
 & services | organisational
 change & transformation |
social innovation | product
 development
micro






 




macro
engagement
A speed date with design thinking
if libraries are not willing to become
  obsolete than that is exactly what’ll
              happen to them. "
                        "
     throw out the library completely, "
start with value and how to co-create
it, and then you’re designing the new
                  library…"
  get people engaged in your service
          and it will grow naturally."
                                     "
                        Arne van Oosterom, 
 
                           Design Thinkers"
                    "
so… 





    design thinking…
what next?
empathise
listen, share, 
contribute, 
reflect
be curious.
        ask why.
   rinse. repeat.
observe.
what? how? why?
reflect.
what works?
what doesn’t?
what could be
better?
experiment
    make, test, 
        reflect
where to from here?


it’s a choose
 
 
your own
    adventure
thankyou
