Overview
Design thinking is a human-centered approach seeking to transform the way products, services and experiences are designed to add functional and emotional value. At the heart of this approach lies an empathetic understanding of human behaviour and needs, having the ability and courage to experiment (ideation and prototyping), bringing ideas to life (co-creation) and crafting meaningful stories enabling users to feel those experiences
Design thinking is defined as an analytic and creative process that engage people/organisations in opportunities to experiment, create and prototype models to redesign products/services/experiences for users.
