Design Thinking: A Creative Approach to Problem-  Solving

Name: Amparo

Absträct

Design thinking understanding the human needs related to a problem, reframing the problem in  human-centric ways, creating many ideas in brainstorming sessions, and adopting a hands-on  approach to prototyping and testing-offers a complementary approach to the rational problem  soving metho ds typicaly emphasized in businesss schools. Business schol instructors may

percelive design thinking. a relatively new and complex multi-step, iterative process, to be  beyond ther capabilities or time/resOurce constraints. This experiential exercise provides a

relatively easy, low investment approach to incoporating an overview of design thin king into

any course. ith minimal instnuctor preparation, parucipants can have a positive expenence

Using design thinking to solve a real problem, consuming as litle as an hour of class time. This

activity is suitable for undergrad uate and graduate cour ses in any business discipline. The

provioed lesson plan, Slides, and workD ook make rt easy to tacitate students experience of the  design thinking process.

Key words: Design thinking, human-centered design, hurnan-centered problem-solving.
