- 21. Build Customer Understanding • The most important part of designing for someone is to gain empathy for that person. • One way to do this is to have a good conversation. (interview) • Partner A will have 3 minutes to interview Partner B, and then we will tell you when to switch.
- 22. Build Customer Understanding As a starting point, ask your partner to tell you about the last time they gave a gift. Additional questions: • To whom did they give it? • Why was it meaningful? • How did they come up with the idea for the gift? • What was difficult about finding and giving this gift? 2x3min
- 23. Defining the Insights Tryto synthesize your learning into a few ‘needs’ that you have discovered, and a few ‘insights’ that you find interesting. • “Needs” should be verbs – things they are trying to do. • “Insights” new learning's about your partner’s feelings/worldview to leverage in your design (make inferences). 3min
- 24. Defining the problemstatement It should feel like a problem worth tackling! Lisa, needs a way to give a gift to her son, because she doesn’t want to support consumerism but still wants to give him a present.
- 25. Defining the problemstatement It should feel like a problem worth tackling! Lisa the responsible mother, needs a way to give a sustainable gift to her 5 year old son, because she doesn’t want to support consumerism but still wants to give him a joyful present. 3min
- 26. Generate new ideas •Idea generation, not evaluation — you can evaluate your ideas later • GO FOR VOLUME! • Be Visual – words just when necessary 5min
- 27. Collect user feedback •This is not just about testing your ideas. This is another opportunity to learn more about your partner’s feelings and worldview. • Spend the time listening to your tablemate’s reactions and questions. • Fight the urge to explain and defend your ideas—see what they make of them! 2x3min

Editor's Notes
- #10 Interview study with 18 companies (9 Germany, 9 US)Interviewees: People central for the implementation of Design thinking R&D and Innovation Managers, leaders of internal design thinking teamsCollaboration with D.School Potsdam who helped us find companies for the studyThe purpose of the study was to explore the implementation of DT in large firms, with specific focus onThe perception of the concept, The expected and perceived value of using itHow they implemented and used itWhat was difficultThe study and the analysis is still ongoing, but we would like to share some insights
- #11 This is the way design thinking is often taught in schools, and how it is presented by eg IDEO or in the business press.Thus, when the initiative to implement design thinking in a company starts, this is also how it is often perceived to begin with: some sort of a process.
- #12 While DT is often described as a process, there was a diversity of views on what the concept actually meant; even within the same company. Often they had spent some time internally to define design thinking, but when they described it to us it was still quite vague.** The perception of design thinking was seen as:A process: a series of consecutive steps. Some stressed that it could be iterative and non-linear, but nevertheless a process. One interviewee stated that if you don’t do some of the steps, or not dwell on the step long enough, you are not really doing design thinking.Design Methodologies: This was described as using methods of designers for example “as a way to solve complex problemsPrinciples: where elements of Brown’s process are emphasized but not seen as steps in a process ,more as a way to relate to the problem at hand. For example: prototyping, iteration, developing empathy, going broad and narrow.Mindset: for example “a mindset that puts the user first, focuses on finding differentiated and true insights, having a bias for action and iterating constantly”A combination of mindset & methods: “you have a mindset and a set of techniques and tools that you can use where it is appropriate”The term design thinking could also be problematic:Some wanted to step away from what they saw as an “IDEO brand” – when design thinking was adapted to their own company context, they also chose to give it another name, or talk about it in different termsSome saw the word “design” as problematic; that it was too connected to the design profession, design being something that is done by someone else.**Some use the notion “design thinking”, others preferred not to or had come up with their own proprietary notions.
- #13 There was a variety in how DT was introduced in the company and how the companies went about implementation.In some companies there was a clear top-down implementation - where a CEO or a founder got interested in Design Thinking, and pushed for a company-wide implementation.In other companies there was a bottom-up implementation; - for example when a development manager or an innovation expert had came across the concept, and tried to implement it in the own organisation on a small scale at first.Various sources of knowledge about DT From business press, board discussions, collaboration with design firms, contacts with d.schoolImplementation set-up –some common approaches could be discernedSupport TeamFacilitating teamEducationWithin the company or by outside providerIn some companies there was a strategic use of projects to make a big impactin terms of project outcome – the most innovative product, or the most complex problemIn terms of implementation effect – that would convince as many as possible that they should embrace DTMany were in an initial phase.Companies in US had generally been using DT for a longer time
- #14 How it is used todayOrganizational level: Developing Strategies for going green, redesigning HR policiesProjectsDevelopment projectsNew products, new software applicationsProcess improvementFor solving complex problemsDrug administration process – reduce wrong medicationIndividual levelAs a different way to think about everyday problemsHow to become a better managerImproving team workHow to tackle big or small problems
- #15 In the companies there was a range of expectations on what value DT would bring, mainly colored by the IDEO or Dschool descriptions of Design Thinking. This mainly consisted of increased customer focus and creativity in ideasLearn about new opportunities through user researchCreate relevant products based on user needsReduce risk through iterative and early testing, using prototypes.Create better ideas through trans-disciplinary teams and the involvement of experts.
- #16 However, some perhaps more unexpected benefits were also perceived such as:New ideas through a different outlook on problems Improved communication within projects and during handoversBridging of boundaries Between departments, across functions and hierarchiesIncreased speed of the development process Uncovering structural problems in the development process that the company was not aware ofCulture change Overcoming a too polite culture, creating an atmosphere where failure is acceptedThere were also some critical voices, that they got less value than expected and that the business side was not addressed.
- #17 The companies also perceived a variety of challenges related to implementation:Hard to proveMany of the interviewees saw it as a challenge that they could not prove the value of design thinking, and it was thus hard to convince people.It was often stated that the final proof that design thinking works would be “success on the market” – However - many companies were in the beginning of the implementation effort, or had very long development cycles – and no product had reached the market. Also, given some of the benefits that were mentioned, it was also clear that many of these were not related to specific products.Adapt the concept:In many of the firms it was also seen as necessary to adapt the concept to the company context since the way it was put forward by IDEO did not fit in their own context, for various reasons.Especially the companies in the study who were in the software or healthcare sector, they felt that the IDEO process was mainly for products.How you adapt the concept also builds on how you perceive the concept – and in some of the companies where DT was seen as a process, it was also mentioned that some parts involved too much time and cost.
- #18 Further, some organizational issues were also seen as barriers to implementation:Integration with existing processes and structures For example the use of agile, lean or six sigma, and structures where marketing usually did all customer research.Tiredness of managerial conceptsPolitical barriers hierarchies, stepping on each other’s turfMiddle management not as convinced as top managementCompany too focused on short term results vs. long term perspective not realizing that implementation takes timeSometimes it was also difficult to get the right resources:Problem to get access to customersIn one company there was an outspoken rule that the developers should NOT talk to customers, and customer access became difficultDifficult finding the right people for teamsThe people that would have made a good contribution to a mixed tem was held up in other projects.
