Since 2007, Design Thinking, together with its implementation and further research, has been funded by the Hasso Plattner Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic assumption of the three developers is that <strong>problems can be better solved when people from different disciplines work together in a creative and open environment, discussing issues and proposing solutions jointly, and always taking into account the needs and motivations of the target group<\/strong>. Curiosity and creative openness are prerequisites for this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Design thinking is a <strong>systematic approach to complex problems from all areas of life<\/strong>. In contrast to many other models of problem solving, the focus is on <strong>user needs and wants, as well as user-oriented invention<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does Design Thinking aim to do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of the Design Thinking method is to <strong>creatively solve problems and develop new and innovative ideas<\/strong>. The method is primarily intended for interdisciplinary teams and is designed to facilitate the work of all participants. For this purpose, <strong>different experiences, opinions and perspectives on a problem are collected and brought together to develop a strategy for change and improvement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Design Thinking is already successfully used by many international companies, such as Porsche, VW and Siemens. The method is intended to ensure the highest possible benefit for customers, which means that <strong>the customer&#8217;s wishes and needs are front and center<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is the Design Thinking model so successful?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>multidisciplinary team<\/strong>, the<strong> space<\/strong> and the <strong>process<\/strong> are treated as <strong>equally important elements<\/strong> in order to find <strong>new possibilities and unconventional approaches to solutions. <\/strong>Design Thinking\u2019s success comes from this unique blend of working and thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context, <strong>multidisciplinary team<\/strong> means a team of five or six people from different disciplines, assembled to work on problem solving. The <strong>diversity of thought<\/strong>, and the freedom to communicate with other teams, leads to a high success rate in achieving goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thespace is designed on the basis that ideas unfold best in a <strong>free and flexible environment<\/strong>. This includes a large enough office, well equipped for finding solutions to problems (whiteboards, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Design Thinking process runs in <strong>six interactive loops<\/strong> and is thus tested over and over again. (See the section &#8220;How does Design Thinking work? &#8211; The 6 phases&#8221;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Design Thinking optimizes the path to customer-centric solutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Design Thinking requires <strong>constant feedback <\/strong>between the team, potential solutions and the target group. These three elements remain constantly connected. Processes and behaviors are analyzed in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initial solution approaches and ideas are ideated as early as possible in the form of <strong>prototypes,<\/strong> so that potential customers can test them &#8211; before completion or market launch &#8211; and provide feedback. In this way, design thinking generates <strong>practical and customer-centric results<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It its innovative approach to problem-solving, Design Thinking considers <strong>three essential components<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items32392_6bc595-5a:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items32392_6bc595-5a

This requires good <strong>research work<\/strong>, as the only way to guarantee that the problem has actually been understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collecting all relevant materials and documents is time-consuming, but essential for the next steps. The team members involved should <strong>acquire expertise<\/strong> and grasp the core of the problem, which is often not obvious. This process is needed to find the right solution to the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phase 2: Observation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second step, the team <strong>interacts with the target group<\/strong> and builds empathy with the customer. This is done by <strong>observing and interviewing<\/strong> people relevant to the problem in their respective environments (these people do not necessarily have to belong to the target group).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important not to be mentally limited by assumptions and prejudices and so overlook crucial information. Phase 2 should not only be theoretical; the team should <strong>leave the office premises<\/strong> and experience the everyday life of the relevant groups on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phase 3: Synthesis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In phase three, all the collected information, data, materials, insights and results are <strong>compiled and visualized<\/strong>.
