Design Thinking... What is That? To promote its new Athleisure Makeup line, Tarte partnered with social media "fitfluencers" to push the concept that "sporty is the new sexy. " The campaign, titled Hustle & Glow, includes a beautifully produced video in which a woman wakes up in her spacious Malibu mansion and heads to the bathroom for a full beauty routine in preparation to . . . go on a solo run. The video was met with wide appreciation from Tarte fans (and nearly 80,000 YouTube views), with many saying it inspired them to get out there and look good on the asphalt (or sand).

As athleisure becomes more than just a fashion trend, it’s extended into new, unexpected categories. Cosmetics is one of them. It’s makeup that’s easy, comfy, and suited for an active individual. Brands big and small now cater to the growing fitness enthusiast, many of them millennials who are willing to pay for a sweat-proof mascara or non-clogging foundation. In other words, yoga pants for your face. The concept is working. More Than A Fad. What is Design Thinking? | researchasdesign. Design thinking can be a little hard to explain at first, since it’s something that is best understood by doing rather than explaining and since experienced designers will give you slightly different definitions.

At a high level, however, you can think of design thinking as a repeatable process for innovative problem-solving. Some key assumptions behind design thinking (as distinct from other problem-solving approaches) include: User-centered – because the ultimate experts about any challenge you are addressing are the people who you are designing for, who work in the environment everyday, who have used the old system and understand its problems, who know the workflow inside and out. Design thinking uses applied methods adapted from anthropology to understand their point of view and use it as a starting place to define a problem and then find a solution. Problem finding – because how you define the challenge is an important first step in determining how you will solve it.

Like this: Now What? Design Thinking Mindset I say #failup! | DEEP Design Thinking. This morning, I was able to witness a live twitter spat right before my own eyes… Since I feel that I am pretty well versed in twitter speak and etiquette, it was a sight to be hold as I have never really seen a differing of opinions and well, fireballs lobbed at each other. Now I may be embellishing this twitter convo (more for my amusement & for this post) however I do so for the purpose of introducing my third of four posts titled, Now What? In the design thinking world, there are several opinions, approaches, degrees of experience, and well, judgement.

In the end, I say your Now What is your dt mindset. It is easy to let others stand on their soapbox, deter you from trying new things, and judge your efforts without consideration of time or space. Mount Vernon Presbyterian School, Head of School, Dr. This twitter spat reminds me that some of us may be pretty knee deep in the lingo, processes, and zen like design thinking mojo. Design Thinking for Business Innovation. Schumpeter: Back to the drawing-board. Design Thinking: A Useful Myth. A powerful myth has arisen upon the land, a myth that permeates business, academia, and government. It is pervasive and persuasive. But although it is relatively harmless, it is false. The myth? That designers possess some mystical, creative thought process that places them above all others in their skills at creative, groundbreaking thought. What is design thinking? Are design consultancies especially good at this effort? Design thinking is a public relations term for good, old-fashioned creative thinking.

Why is it that the design community perpetuates this myth? But there is a second, more important, and more legitimate reason to embrace the term "design thinking. " Design thinking is a powerful public relations term that changes the way in which design firms are viewed. So, long live the phrase "design thinking. "

DesignThinkingApproach To LeadershipDevelopment. DavidDunne. StrategicDesign. Design-thinking. The Design of Business: Why Design Thinking Is the Next Competitive Advantage - Roger L. Martin. Most companies today have innovation envy. They yearn to come up with a game—changing innovation like Apple's iPod, or create an entirely new category like Facebook. Many make genuine efforts to be innovative—they spend on R&D, bring in creative designers, hire innovation consultants. But they get disappointing results. Why? In The Design of Business, Roger Martin offers a compelling and provocative answer: we rely far too exclusively on analytical thinking, which merely refines current knowledge, producing small improvements to the status quo. To innovate and win, companies need design thinking. This form of thinking is rooted in how knowledge advances from one stage to another—from mystery (something we can't explain) to heuristic (a rule of thumb that guides us toward solution) to algorithm (a predictable formula for producing an answer) to code (when the formula becomes so predictable it can be fully automated).
