Design Thinking Comes of Age Executive Summary In large organizations, design is moving closer to the center of the enterprise. This shift isn’t about aesthetics and product development, however. It’s about imparting the principles of design—collectively known as design thinking—throughout the organization. The approach is in large part a response to the complexity of many products, services, and processes. People need help—they need their interactions with technologies and other complicated systems to be intuitive and pleasurable. Design thinking is an essential tool for simplifying and humanizing. Creating a design-centric culture requires understanding that the returns on an investment in design are difficult to quantify, allowing people to take chances, and appreciating what design can and cannot achieve. HBR Reprint R1509D There’s a shift under way in large organizations, one that puts design much closer to the center of the enterprise.
The Beginner's Guide to Design Thinking in the Classroom In the first post of this series, I shared my biggest fear as an educator (being ineffective and my students not caring about learning). We looked at the role choice, inquiry, and ownership play — in not only engaging our students — but also empowering them to intrinsically care about what they can learn and do in school. But giving my students choice and allowing them to being curious learners was hard work. In fact, sometimes I was still really ineffective at guiding the learning that was taking place in my classroom. I tried many different project-based learning frameworks, embraced the inquiry cycle, and tweaked my own idea of how to structure this type of innovative and creative work. My research (and trial and error as a teacher) led me to design thinking (most noticeably the work of Stanford d.school and IDEO). In this article, I’ll take you on a tour of design thinking. What is Design Thinking (and the LAUNCH Cycle)? 1. Design thinking provides a way to think about creative work.
Creative Wallonia - Semaine de la Créativité - Society - Le lab de Creative Wallonia - Les dossiers de la créativité - Les outils visuels Les outils visuels Quelle utilité dans une séance de créativité collective ? Il y a environ 40000 ans, les êtres humains ont imaginé lancer des armes plutôt que de les tenir en main, ils se sont créés des rituels d’enterrement, ils ont fabriqués les premiers vêtements, et surtout ils ont fait les premiers dessins : des peintures rupestres ou corporelles. Aujourd’hui, l’écriture comme support de communication semble de plus en plus désuète pour laisser place aux outils visuels. Si l’usage qui est fait de ces outils est multiple et varie selon leurs spécificités, il repose toujours sur le postulat que les images sont plus puissantes que les mots. En effet, les images contiennent un contenu très large[1] permis par l’usage de couleurs, formes, lignes, dimensions, textures, rythmes visuels et surtout par l’usage de l’imagination[2] ; elles sont évocatrices et forcent les connexions améliorant ainsi la pensée créative et la mémorisation. Ce dernier point mérite quelques précisions.
How to Apply Design Thinking in Class, Step By Step | MindShift | KQED News By Anne Stevens For educators ready to try the idea of design thinking, you’ll be glad to know it does not require extensive transformation of your classroom. That said, it can be a transformative experience for all involved. Can my classroom become a space of possibility? For students, the best classroom experience is a space of possibility. It can be challenging to transition a traditional classroom into a space of possibility. But in a classroom that is a space of possibility, the students have agency, and the products and processes can be moving targets. Can I run a design thinking classroom on Tuesdays from 1-3pm? You can run a flexible studio space in your classroom for a certain part of the day. I am not a designer. The first place to seek the curriculum is in your classroom’s daily activities. How much time do I need? I am not an artist. Most professional designers work with simple materials in the design process, and kids should too. The instructor is facilitator.
Why Design Thinking Isn't Just for Techies "Teacher Voices": This article is part of a series of from-the-classroom perspectives. I was really intimidated when I first heard about design thinking. I also had a lot of questions: What is design thinking? The epicenter of design thinking is the d.School at Stanford. In schools, design thinking complements inquiry- and project-based approaches to teaching and learning. Schools often assume that design thinking is a "techie thing" and send their edtech coordinators and directors to design-thinking workshops. I had the privilege of attending a couple of deep dives into design thinking at Stanford's d.School. The Inquiry Cycle If you're like me, the steps of the scientific method have been thoroughly imprinted on your brain since middle school. Empathize: Choose one topic and ask lots of questions. (Source: Stanford d.School) Now, let me break it down so you can see how it aligns with an inquiry cycle you're already familiar with. Step 1: Empathize. Step 2: Define. Step 5: Test.

Kellogg made a discovery that would forever change what we eat in the morning. Seeking a more digestible breakfast alternative to baked bread for his brother’s hospital patients, the bespectacled former broom salesman accidentally left a pot of boiled wheat out overnight. The wheat became softened and when he rolled it out and baked it, each grain became a crispy flake. Kellogg tried the technique on corn. But Kellogg didn’t stop there. Kellogg’s genius came not just in his flair for food product invention, but also in his customer-centric approach, iterative prototyping process and careful consideration of the entire product experience — from the cereal itself to its packaging, marketing and distribution. One misconception that I am still surprised to hear around Silicon Valley is that design is about making a product pretty — that it’s about designing the cereal box.

[leçon] Qu'est-ce-que le design thinking ? - Les cahiers de l'innovation Qu’est-ce-que le design thinking ? Le Design Thinking est tout simplement le terme utilisé pour désigner l’ensemble des méthodes et des outils qui aident, face à un problème ou un projet d’innovation, à appliquer la même démarche que celle qu’aurait un designer. C’est une approche de l’innovation et de son management qui se veut une synthèse entre la pensée analytique et la pensée intuitive. Il s’appuie beaucoup sur un processus de co-créativité impliquant des retours de l’utilisateur final. Le design thinking, des années 50 à aujourd’hui 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. La technologie est morte, vive l’expérience ! Si le design thinking suscite un tel engouement, presque 30 ans après la sortie du livre fondateur de Peter Rowe, c’est parce que l’expérience domine de plus en plus l’économie.

En faisant le parallèle avec le design comme une solution à ces problèmes. Le design thinking est présenté comme une méthode différente pour régler situations problématiques que celle que nous utilisons actuellement. Grâce à se documentaire on remarque largement que le design thinking et ses valeurs sont applicables à tous les domaines, de la recherche scientifique à l’économie mondiale en passant par l’innovation technologique. Un zoom est fait sur l’université D.school à Stanford où les processus d’itération et d’idéation sont l’essence même du programme des étudiants. Le documentaire découpé en plusieurs chapitres ne s’arrête pas là, vous découvrirez différents designers ou CEO qui témoignent de leurs succès grâce à l’application du design thinking dans leur business.
