Design Thinking Action Lab - How Do You Solve Problems
- 1. Design Thinking Action Lab Student Locker Re-Design: A Place to Change?
- 2. Design Challenge Re-design the student lockers at a large public high school
- 3. Step 1: Discover The ultimate solution to a problem is rational; the process of finding it is not.
- 4. To understand the man, you must first walk a mile in his moccasin. Analyze (and empathize with) the users Facts Benefits Process Cautions Feelings Creativity
- 5. A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience. Access? Security?Upkeep? Privacy? Space? Anything else? ? Analyze the users Identify current problem(s)
- 6. If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there Analyze the users Define the problem(s) Define design objectives and goals
- 7. Step 2: Design If the first idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.
- 8. Brainstorm design options The best way to get a good idea is to get a lot of ideas.
- 9. We are doomed to make choices. This is life's greatest paradox. Brainstorm design options Compare options - select the best one
- 10. Life is "trying things to see if they work". Brainstorm design options Compare options - select the best one Check if the solution works (prototyping)
- 11. Step 3: Develop and Deploy The best way to predict the future is to create it.
- 12. A goal without a plan is just a wish. Plan the development
- 13. A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work. Plan the development Develop the solution
- 14. What's good about deployment? You get your butterflies back. Plan the development Develop the solution Deploy / implement the solution
- 15. Step 4: Determine Success Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
- 16. Success comes in cans; failure in can’ts. Gather user feedback
- 17. What gets measured gets done improved. Gather user feedback Measure effectiveness of solution
- 18. It's fine to celebrate success. But it is more important to heed the lessons of failure. Gather user feedback Measure effectiveness of solution Learn, improve, celebrate
- 20. Analyze (and empathize with) the users Identify the problem(s) Define design objectives and goals Brainstorm design options Compare options - select the best one Verify that the solution works (prototyping) Plan the development Develop the solution Deploy / implement the solution Gather user feedback Measure effectiveness of solution Learn, improve, celebrate 1. Discover 2. Design 3. Develop & Deploy 4. Determine Success
