Programme Introduction:
In 1987, Peter G Rowe interrogated conceptual approaches to design in terms of both process and form. His idea of using design thinking was to identify and resolve design problems in urban planning and architecture. He probably took his inspiration from Herbert A Simon’s book “The Science of the Artificial” published in 1969 where it was emphasized that there is a specific pattern of problem solving that involves “design thought”. Since early 1990s researchers and designers have been using design thinking approach to solve business problems be it designing a new product or service, designing a new campus/building/office, or solving a complex business issue.
The proliferation of information technologies, AI, data analytics, and social media platforms have been instrumental in solving critical and complex problems. In fact, technology has altogether offered a variety of tools and techniques to approach a problem from multiple perspectives. We have several examples of business where the marriage between technology and design thinking has proven strong and successful. For example, platform businesses Zomato and Swiggy have solved the complex problem of anytime access to food and Urban Company is offering home services with guaranteed users’ satisfaction. A decade ago this was unimaginable in the developing country like India. While technology offers accessibility and ease, design thinking helps businesses to approach a problem with empathy, understand users’ pain points, analyse data and resolve a problem with feedback loop approach. It enables designers to consider the problem in many different ways and speculate on both the past and future of the problem too.
The course participants will get to learn the fundamental principles of design thinking, design thinking framework and tools, exploring the role of design heuristics, problem solving pattern, analyzing a problem from data driven insights, experience mind shift learning, ideate and test prototype for best possible solution.
Programme Objective:
By taking this program, the participants will learn to analyze a problem from design thinking approach. They will further explore the role of concept design method, design heuristics, user persona, and experience mapping.
