• design thinking is bottom-up strategy: you start with a broad viewpoint
  and a profound understanding of human behaviour to craft and shape
  opportunities, ideas and solutions. You derive your strategy from this
  understanding

• design thinking is a dynamic process, and less about steps
• design thinking is gaining insights through rapid prototyping
• design thinking seeks to find (new) meaning of things, create new stories
• design thinking is making complicated things simple
• design thinking is agile strategy: deepening the strategy often emerges
  after prototyping.

human behaviour

Nudge.


You can change your behaviour by making a choice. But the choice
we make sometimes depends on the way a problem presented.

People are lazy, don’t really want to get to the bottom of things. That
is why understanding of choice architecture and nudges will lead to
creative ways to improve human lives (with respect to freedom of
choice).
People are most likely to need nudges for decisions that are
difficult, complex and infrequent and when they have poor
feedback and few opportunities for learning
!
Design Thinking as new strategic tool
“Market? What Market!
We do not look at market needs.
We make proposals to people”
Ernesto Gismondi, Chairman, Artemide




                                       “It isn’t the consumers job
                                       to know what they want”
                                       Steve Jobs, Apple
Design-driven innovation

breakthrough technologies

2. Improved product solutions                                       Design-driven




enabled by better analysis of




                                incremental
users’ needs
                                                   Market pull
                                                 (user-centered)

                User-centered design                    Design-driven innovation



 Model by Roberto Verganti
What other companies in other industries are targeting the same
people in the same life context?

And can help me to envision how people could give meaning to
things.

Why? To understand people’s unmet aspirations, make something
people could love.
Bicycle industry - How do people relax?
Sportswear, portable music players, music producers, street food,
wireless services, tourist services, outdoor experiences, magazines /
media, universities, design schools, supplier of raw materials.


Food industry - How do people live in their kitchens?
Winemaker, professor designing restaurants, entrepreneur catering
services, sociologist, president slow food, food critic, supplier
kitchen utensils etc.

The biggest obstacle to change
is not your competition,
it’s the way you currently do things
