Week 7 – Design Thinking

Your task in this session…

Think of a new product or service for people over 60

What is design thinking?

So, instead of falling in love with “original” ideas, fall in love with finding the best possible solution to problems, without becoming constrained to one specific solution.

And consequently, develop superior solutions

Osorio (2009)

Empathy with stakeholders

What does the customer think and feel

What really counts? Preoccupations? Worries and aspirations?

What does the customer hear?

What do their friends/boss/influencers say

What does the customer see?

Environment/friends/market offers

What does the customer say or do?

Attitude in public/appearance/behaviour towards others

Pain points

Fears? Frustrations? Obstacles?

Gain points

Wants/needs? Measures of success? Obstacles?

What are you going to do?

Use IDEO’s 7 tips to write down

AS MANY

ideas as possible in 5 minutes

Define

Combine ideas or directions identified into an initial hunch

Analyse and synthesise into a brief with actionable tasks and clear definition of the problem

Start to plan how to address this through a design-led product or service

Define stage ends in a project go-ahead (end of formative task)

Develop

Work with key partners to refine one or more concepts

Can include brainstorming, visualisation, prototyping, testing and scenarios

Similar to the Define stage, but this time is focussed on bringing the agreed product or service to fruition

At the end of the Develop stage, the product or service is ready for delivery to production

Deliver

Final concept is taken through final testing, signed-off, produced and launched

Results in a product or service that successfully addresses the problem identified during the Discover stage.

Include processes for feeding back lessons from the full design process to inform future projects, including methods, ways of working and relevant information.
