How does design thinking work?

Design thinking is a problem-solving approach that emphasizes creative and human-centered solutions. It starts by understanding the user or customer needs and constraints through empathizing with them. This involves conducting research, interviews, and observations to gain deep insights. The next step is defining the problem by synthesizing and analyzing the collected data to frame the core challenges. Ideation follows, where a wide range of solutions are brainstormed, combining both practical and innovative ideas. Prototyping is the subsequent phase, where the most promising ideas are brought to life in a tangible and testable form. Through user testing and feedback, the prototypes are refined continuously. The final stage is implementation, where the solution is developed and launched. Throughout the process, design thinking promotes collaboration, iteration, and iteration, ensuring that the end result is properly aligned with user needs.
