[[Judgment provides a statement, not a solution.]] ## Notes - "Design thinking is a way to solve problems you see around you in creative ways." - Design thinking is like a toolbox. When you encounter a problem, you can pull out a tool from your design thinking toolbox to solve the problem. - An important tool is empathy. - "Empathy means trying to understand others, even when they're very different from you." - To understand the problem, you must perceive it from the perspective of others. - The challenge is that the other person may not have ideas for a solution or they may not even know that there is a problem to begin with. - [[Perceive to answer not to judge]]. [[Judgment provides a statement, not a solution.]] - Brainstorming is another design thinking problem solving tool. "Brainstorming is about coming up with a lot of creative ideas". - Think of many ideas and choose the one that resonates the most. - Try out that one idea with a prototype. The goal is to test out a potential solution not to create a final end product. - "[[If a picture is worth 1000 words, a prototype is worth 1000 meetings]]". - "[[Prototype as if you're right. Listen as if you're wrong.]]". - "[[The value of a prototype is the education it gives you, not the code itself]]". ## Original ![[Design thinking for all.
