3. While I learnt a lot –these are the 3 key
takeaways
1.Understanding
the real
problem/need is
key
I loved the empathy
map – I thought it
was such a cool
way to get to the
insight
2. Everyone is
creative
Do not let barriers
allow you to believe
that your ideas are not
good enough
Choose an
environment which
make you feel creative
– I love sitting in my
work space and using
colored post its,
marker pens to ideate
3. Doing things in
teams and a
specified time
works best
I realised the
need of
interacting
with my
learning
squad in all
exercises,
Sadly, we did
not do so,
but I used my
family to help
4. Task 2: Process map
Graphic map/representation of the design
thinking process as you experienced it
5. The process map as I see it
5
Improving the idea by
testing it again & again
Defining the real need/
problem by putting
yourself in the place of
the stakeholder- I love
the Disney example!
Thinking of options without
restraint-I just loved the
options to use for thinking
of ideas
Deciding
Which idea works best
by building a prototype
and sharing asap in
even a very un finished
form
I see it as a
continuous
process
with an end
point
6. Task 3: Ideate and
prototype ways to
apply design thinking to
your context:
A reflection about how design thinking skills and
mindsets could be applied to problems you
care about (at your work, school, community or
at home), and more broadly to your field or
industry )
7. Using it in my
business
My work involves creative
thinking and I love the brain
storming tips- I will use them
definitely
Till date, I always wanted to
share the output with
anyone when it was
complete- now I am willing
to share it before so that I
am not defensive about it.
I have just started a business
and this will help me to
empathize with the real need
of my client
A lot of times clients state the
rational need but they do have
a personal need and to be a
trusted adviser, I need to
understand that- I think using
the empathy map will help a
lot
My proposals will have a ‘real’
perspective
