How to apply design thinking to my workplace:

Challenge:  I work in a creative service oﬃce composed of designers, writers, photographers, and  videographers. We have problem to do brainstorming and create new idea.

Selection:  So Design Thinking gave me insight on how to make those sessions more fruitful. We did have a  brainstorm meeting every month. I made everyone stand up and use post-it notes to help us with  our ideas. Standing and using post-note on walls provides a more interactive environment than  sitting and encouraged further interactivity among the team.

Application:  More Tools and Method I use to overcome the problem in brainstorming idea.

While we do already think of creative solutions for problem, we use techniques of ﬁndings  empathy, linking to customers problem & creating a statements, forming ideas and then making  prototypes. That help us to come up with better solution:

Approach:  Here is my 3 approaches that I would further prototype and test: 1. Share my learnings with teammmates. At the end of our production meeting, I could go over  one of each area that I learned about.  Team will receive each item and share their comment.

2. Make a backlog to write summary and user storing of how our ideas can be execute in frontend  or backend and share it with the entire department in one of our monthly meetings.

3. Make clear prototype area that has tools for ideating. Using User ﬂow and Adobe XD software  to make things colores and easy to visual. Or using pencil and markets, diﬀerent papers, pipe  cleaners, sticker etc.

Insights:  Taking this Design thinking course led me to think more broadly about how I solve problems as a  designer and using design thinking methodology. I always have many idea to solve something,  but having that empathy for my stakeholder, or my audience will help me to come up with better  ideas that are more relevant. Using Hypothesis and AB Test method will also ensure my idea and  assumptions are secure and can be perform well as expected when it launched into the markets .
