Design Thinking for Leaders, Gallagher & Thorndarson, 2018 ASCD p. 12 - 13

Define:

Create a point of view that is based on user needs and insights.
ASK: What are their needs?
Helpful tips;

Clarity at this stage can lead to more relevant solutions.
Move beyond what seems to be the apparent need and dig deep.
What are we really solving?
If you don’t have as much clarity as you want at an early stage, remember that while some problems are defined for us, others may be discovered in the design process

Ideate:

Brainstorm and come up with as many creative solutions as possible.
Ask crazy questions to prompt thinking. “How would I solve this problem if I had $1 million? How would Walt Disney solve this problem?
Helpful tips:

Good ideating takes a page from improve.
Try “yes and …” Not yes, but…”

Prototype:

Build a representation of one or more of your ideas to show to others
ASK, “How can I show my idea? What does the rough draft of this idea look like?
Helpful tips

Don’t fall in love with our idea: our first ideas are usually are our worst! Get feedback quickly to keep your relationship with your ideas healthy.
You can use anything as prototyping materials- remember, your are just building to learn.

Test:

Share a prototyped idea with your original use for feedback.
ASK, “What worked?” “What didn’t?” “What can be improved?”
Helpful Tips

Encourage Honest feedback
Poor Designs are often the result of not spending enough time in the testing phase. Cycle back and forth between prototyping and testing phase as many times as needed.

Reflection:

Reflection is an ongoing process throughout the design thinking process.
ASK, “What evidence do we have that we are self-aware and self-correcting as we move through the process?
Helpful Tips

Include time for reflection at various points in your process (Take a selfie)
Don’t forget to check in on the emotional state of your team. Is it impacting the work?
‘Build in time to connect and release frustrations.

Design thinking process, Mindsets, and Helpful Tips*

Wonder & Question

Mindfulness is becoming an important component to our lives. Part of wondering and question is to become aware of your own identity, values, emotions, biases and assumptions that you may be carrying into the process.

ASK: “How might my perceptions and assumptions influence my thinking?

Helpful Hints;

List everything you think or think you might know about the person or situation you're designing for.

Reflect on where your bias may be showing and ask where your knowledge or full understanding may be lacking.

What new wonders and questions do you have?

Design thinking process, Mindsets, and Helpful Tips*

Empathize

Learn about the audience for which you are designing.

ASK: Who is my user? What is important to this person?

Helpful Hints;

Three Quick ways to develop empathy are observation, interview, and immersion.

When designing for a large group, identify your extreme users and design to the edges.

Helpful Hints;

Three Quick ways to develop empathy are observation, interview, and immersion. The art of empathetic observation is a means to observe and listen to our users as they teach and learn. It’s like looking over their shoulders while trying to imagine what they are thinking and feeling. The empathy interview is an approach to finding out as much as possible about a person’s experience as the user of a space, a process, an objective, or an environment, immersion is your most powerful tool for achieving empathy, as it allows you to enter the world of your users, in schools, this means shadowing a student or teacher for the day.

When designing for a large group, identify your extreme users and design to the edges. List a number of facets to explore within your design space, then think of people who may be extreme in those facets. This help you pull out meaningful needs that may not pop when engaging with the middle of the bell curve. Pay special attention to work-arounds (or other extreme behaviours) that can serve as inspiration and uncover insights.
