Design Thinking Barcelona Iterating and Ideating: Teachers Think Like Designers What do a designer and teacher have in common? Turns out there are a lot of similarities. “Teachers design everyday. They structure all kinds of solutions,” says Sandy Speicher from seminal design firm Ideo. It’s just a much a matter of how they perceive themselves. With the help of on-the-ground teachers, Speicher and her design colleagues at Ideo have come up with a toolkit, and an entire website called Design Thinking for Educators devoted to explaining how to use it, to help educators build the design process into their day. The toolkit is meant to create a set of processes and methods used by professional designers that’s been rewritten in the context of education and the school environment. Here’s what that looks like (excerpted from Design Thinking For Educators.) DISCOVERY. Who has time to build design thinking into the day, not to mention rewire the way they think about their jobs? “This is about making what you already do more enjoyable and more effective,” she says.
[Dossier] Qu'est-ce que le design thinking ? On pourrait penser que c’est une mode, mais le design thinking est bel et bien né dans années 1950. De San Francisco à Delhi, en passant par Londres et Berlin, cette méthode qui oblige à repenser les cycles de création et de management en entreprise par le design convainc les plus réfractaires. Trois écoles spécialisées ont déjà ouvert. FrenchWeb a récemment consacré un atelier dédié en juillet dernier : qu’est-ce que le design thinking ? Le design thinking est « un mode d’application des outils de conception utilisés par les designers pour résoudre une problématique d’innovation, par une approche multidisciplinaire centrée sur l’humain » Les grandes dates du design thinking: Années 1950: Le publicitaire américain Alex Osborn, en mettant au point la technique du brainstorming, sensibilise le monde de l’entreprise à la pensée créative.Années 1960: Création d’un premier programme inter-départemental à l’université de Stanford, la majeure de Product Design.

Introduction to Design Thinking By Gerd Waloszek, SAP AG, SAP User Experience – September 1, 2012 Design Thinking is one of the more recent buzz words in the design community. In this introductory article, I will investigate what Design Thinking is, what its main characteristics are, and take a look at the process and the methods associated with it. I will also take a brief look at the history of Design Thinking. In a future article, I might present real-world examples of Design Thinking as it is taught and practiced at different institutions, such as the d.school in Stanford, California, the D-School at the Hasso-Plattner-Institut (HPI) in Potsdam, Germany, and companies like IDEO and Intuit. What Is Design Thinking? First, I will outline what Design Thinking is all about. A Design Methodology Basically, Design Thinking is a design methodology. A Problem-Solving Approach or Process As a solution-based approach to solving problems, Design Thinking is particularly useful for addressing so-called "wicked" problems. Process

What is service design? Service design is the activity of planning and organizing people, infrastructure, communication and material components of a service in order to improve its quality and the interaction between service provider and customers. The purpose of service design methodologies is to design according to the needs of customers or participants, so that the service is user-friendly, competitive and relevant to the customers. Service Design Definition During the last three decades, economic conditions have changed fundamentally in western industrial nations. Without doubt, a fundamental change from a manufacturing society to an information- and service-based economy is discernable. This is a text by Birgit Mager from the Design Dictionary published by Birkhäuser, Basel (2008).

Design Thinking for Social Innovation Designers have traditionally focused on enhancing the look and functionality of products. Recently, they have begun using design techniques to tackle more complex problems, such as finding ways to provide low-cost healthcare throughout the world. Businesses were the first to embrace this new approach—called design thinking—and nonprofits are beginning to adopt it too. In an area outside Hyderabad, India, between the suburbs and the countryside, a young woman—we’ll call her Shanti—fetches water daily from the always-open local borehole that is about 300 feet from her home. She uses a 3-gallon plastic container that she can easily carry on her head. Shanti and her husband rely on the free water for their drinking and washing, and though they’ve heard that it’s not as safe as water from the Naandi Foundation-run community treatment plant, they still use it. Shanti has many reasons not to use the water from the Naandi treatment center, but they’re not the reasons one might think. Ideation

Il était temps: la France découvre le design de services En matière de design, on est plus habitué à entendre parler d’objets que de services. Avec le développement de l’économie du partage et de la fonctionnalité, le fait de concevoir des services vraiment pensés pour (et par) les utilisateurs est pourtant une activité en plein boom. A partir de ce dimanche 28 octobre et jusqu’au mardi 30 octobre à Paris se réunissent les plus grands spécialistes du design de services à Paris. L’occasion d’en savoir plus sur leur travail. Pour une économie décloisonnée Guichets automatiques dans les banques, bornes SNCF, Pass Navigo de la RATP, carte Imagine’R, Vélib’, etc… autant d’applications ayant recours au design de services, explique cet article du Lieu du Design qui le définit comme « une activité de conception qui organise des informations et des situations afin d’en augmenter l’efficacité, la perception et la qualité ». Mathématicienne et psycho-sociologue de formation, Anne-Marie Boutin a passé neuf ans à la direction des études de l’ENA. Comment ?
Design Thinking « Roger 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. Why? To innovate and win, companies need design thinking. Martin shows how leading companies such as Procter & Gamble, Cirque du Soleil, RIM, and others use design thinking to push knowledge through the stages in ways that produce breakthrough innovations and competitive advantage. Filled with deep insights and fresh perspectives, The Design of Business reveals the true foundation of successful, profitable innovation.

Le « design de services » : quand le design veut permettre de mieux vivre ensemble C’est une discipline relativement récente en France, mais qui existe chez certains de nos voisins européens depuis une quinzaine d’années déjà. L'éclosion du « design de services », terme qui renvoie à une multitude de concepts et d’applications, traduit une tendance de fond : l’envie des designers d’appliquer au monde des services (télécommunications, transports ou encore services financiers), leur démarche de co-conception, dans un processus ascendant. Interfaces, sites d'échanges, communautés web : le numérique est partie intégrante des services imaginés par les designers. > Le design de services : l’humain au centre de la réflexion Reprenons la définition d’Anne-Marie Boutin, présidente de l’Agence pour la Promotion de la Création Industrielle (APCI): « Le design de services est la production d’un service, à travers la conception de ce service en lui-même, et non pas seulement à travers sa réalisation ». Une méthodologie qui s’accompagne d’une idée forte, ajoute Anne-Marie Boutin :
Design thinking Design thinking stands for design-specific cognitive activities that designers apply during the process of designing.[1] Overview[edit] Design thinking has come to be defined as combining empathy for the context of a problem, creativity in the generation of insights and solutions, and rationality in analyzing and fitting various solutions to the problem context.[2] According to Tim Brown, CEO and president of IDEO, the goal of Design Thinking is "matching people’s needs with what is technologically feasible and viable as a business strategy" [3] The premise of teaching Design Thinking is that by knowing about how designers approach problems and the methods which they use to ideate, select and execute solutions, individuals and businesses will be better able to improve their own problem solving processes and take innovation to a higher level. Origins of the term[edit] (For a detailed evolution, see History, below.) Solution-based thinking[edit] Bryan Lawson Architects vs. Lawson found that:
Crafting Questions That Drive Projects Which comes first, the driving question or the learning goals? I think it depends. The most successful projects feed off of students’ passions. Don’t be afraid to tap into them. Take what they are interested in and find a way to connect that interest to learning standards. In my first year of teaching, my fifth graders were obsessed with SpongeBob Squarepants. What adventures would SpongeBob have during the Great Depression? So, to develop a driving question, you can use students' interest as a starting point and then creatively connect learning standards. Some of the learning aims my school had for students in math were working with decimals and graphing data. So, you can start with a topic or you start with learning standards to develop a driving question.
