Design Thinking refers to the methods andprocesses for investigating ill-defined problems,acquiring information, analyzing knowledge, andpositing solutions in the design and planning fields.As a style of thinking, it is generally considered theability to combine empathy for the context of aproblem, creativity in the generation of insightsand solutions, and rationality to analyze and fitsolutions to the context. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_thinking

“The pebble watch has raised oversix million dollars on Kickstarter. TheNest thermostat sold out its firstproduction run in a few days. Squareis using design to rethink the financeindustry. Mainstream businessmagazines are writing about the needfor designers.” - Jared Spool 2012 http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1548

“People at the boardroom and level are paying attentionthe value of design. Experience design is more missioncritical than ever before.”

Interaction Choreographyby Senior Principal Design Technologist Jared FicklinUser interaction with technology is going above the glass. You no longer need anexplicit tool or even direct manipulation to drive a user interface. With the ability oftechnology, like the Microsoft Kinect, to see users’ movements in space, gesturesare being added to traditional methods in new layers of interaction. Designing forthis new layer of interaction requires new thinking about dexterity, ergonomics,and whether someone might feel silly or offensive with certain gestures. We areso involved in this space right now, that we’ve had to move our designtechnologists’ desks to create enough room for all the hand waving design.http://designmind.frogdesign.com/blog/frogs-2012-technology-trend-predictions.html
