Norman,  Researcher, and professor at the University of California, San Diego.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h6>Where Are The Roots And Origins of Design Thinking?<\/h6>\n<p>Design thinking has been prevalent ever since ancient times \u2013 ever since the wheel was invented, or even before that. Our human ancestors employed design thinking in the way they used to build hunting tools and materials for survival. Thus, design thinking has been a part of the human journey through the evolution chain. Humans have been trying to study the factors that led to the contemporary understanding of design theory, process and practice.<\/p>\n<p><p>As thinkers studied the methods and processes behind innovation, the emergence of design thinking as a concept came to the fore. Though these references were more connected to the fields of architecture and engineering, the inflection point was probably the beginning of an industrial revolution. While the new age businesses grappled with the need for innovation, design thinking originated as a remedy to traditional software development that often resulted in an experience that was not intuitive for customers. <\/p>\n<p><p>Design Thinking helped developers reframe issues from the perspective of the end user, using an experimental, iterative approach to generate original and creative points of view. It successfully helped prevent biases that stunt imagination, moving beyond to fresh ideas and perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>Business leaders soon realized that Design Thinking\u2019s human-centric approach could be applied to other business challenges as well. As an isolated effort, Design Thinking while designing solutions, did not address the issue of assigning a quantifiable value to the business. Thus the evolution of Business Design. <\/p>\n<p>Businesses could now look at re-imagining business models, reinvigorate value streams, and look at a higher return on investment through a combination of Design Thinking and creativity with the strategic, operational, and technological expertise of Business. Design Thinking had now evolved into Business Design and innovation could be viewed in conjunction with practicalities such as budgets, competing strategies, revenue targets, resource allocations, and business models. There is no doubt that a Design Thinking approach forms the core foundation of Business Design and the synergy had the potential to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soil.edu.in\/design-thinking-creates-a-competitive-advantage\/\">radically change the way businesses looked at innovation with an empathetic approach<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Business Design is indeed rooted in a Design Thinking approach, with Design Thinking remaining a foundational practice for business designers. In Management Practice, the two concepts are viewed interchangeably. While design thinking is based on the workflow of designers, its purpose is to provide all business professionals with a standardized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soil.edu.in\/what-is-creative-problem-solving-why-is-it-important\/\">innovation process to develop creative solutions to business problems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"summary-box mb-40\">\n<h4>Summary<\/h4>\n<p id=\"phases-of-innovation\">Design thinking has been a part of the human journey through the evolution chain.

Abstract thinking is the base for innovation while concrete thinking ensures that the outcome is useful, practical, and viable. <\/p>\n<p><p>Design Thinking can be broadly categorized into a four-phase process for brevity.

This is done after careful observation or research to determine the problem and the possible impediments to a solution. The key here is to have an unbiased approach without being assumptive.  A comprehensive approach should be inclusive of the stakeholder\u2019s views and facts. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Ideating &#8211;<\/strong> This is the abstract phase when Design Thinkers devise new and innovative ideas that solve the problems they have identified. The approach should be user-centric and free from bias or assumptions. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Developing Solutions &#8211;<\/strong> This phase involves developing concepts by evaluating and working on possible solutions. This may include prototyping, testing, and experimenting to come up with answers to questions about the concept\u2019s viability.
