The document provides an overview of the design thinking process, which includes discovery, framing insights into direction, developing concepts, creating prototypes, gathering feedback, and iterating. It discusses methods for each stage like learning from users, experts, context immersion, and inspirations in discovery. In framing, important elements are analyzed and synthesized to determine direction. Concepts integrate analyzed elements into concrete solutions. Prototypes are created and feedback is gathered to integrate into the next iteration. The document outlines tools, methods, and pitfalls to consider at each stage of the process.

12. BRIEF
How might we design an action oriented solution for
obese people (BMI >30) to lose weight ?

14. METHOD
Understanding Obesity (domain)
Benchmarks to measure progress
Objectives to realise + Metrics

15. TOOLS
Constraints & Barriers
Inspirations & Héros
Knowns, Unknowns and Assumptions.

16. DISCOVERY

17. PROBLEM DEFINITION
Creating meaningful solutions begins with gaining a deep
understanding of people’s needs.The discover phase is all about
listening, observing, and being open to the unexpected.

18. METHODS
1. Learn from Users
2. Learn from Experts
3. Learn from Contextual Immersion
4. Learn from Inspirations

19. METHOD: Learn from Users
1. Who might be using a product/service/space/
system you are creating ?
2. Is there one kind of user or many kinds?
3. Is the user willing to pay ? What is their
affordability ?

system you are creating ?
2. Is there one kind of user or many kinds?
3. Is the user willing to pay ? What is their
affordability ?

23. SHARE STORIES
1. Share inspiring stories based on your contextual
immersion, people whom you talked to and what
you learnt.
2. While one team member shares, the others take
note in post it and keep updating the wall.

24. WHATTO SHARE? (1/2)
• Personal details: who did you meet? (profession, age, location, etc)
• Interesting stories: what was the most memorable and surprising story
they told you?
• Motivations: what did this participant care about the most? What
motivates him/her?

25. WHATTO SHARE? (2/2)
• Barriers: what frustrated him/her?
• Interactions: what was interesting about the way he/ she interacted with
his/her environment?
• Remaining Questions: what questions would you like to explore if you
had another conversation with this person?

26. FIND THEMES
After collecting and sharing stories from your fieldwork, your
design team will begin to make sense of all that information
and inspiration.This part of the process can take some time.
A good first step is to identify themes.

27. AHA! MOMENTS
Insights are a concise expression of what you learned from your
research and inspiration activities.They are the unexpected
information that make you sit up and pay attention. Insights allow
you to see the world in a new way and are catalysts for new ideas.

28. TURN ACTIONABLE
Developing "How Might We" (HMW) questions can take some
practice.This step is important, however, because HMW questions
are the link between the great research you already conducted
and the brilliant new ideas that you'll begin brainstorming next.

29. BRAINSTORM
Brainstorming is a great activity to generate fresh thoughts and
new energy. Create a safe and positive atmosphere for your
brainstorm so the team can come up with all kinds of wild ideas.

30. PROMISING IDEAS
The passion and energy of your team around particular ideas will
make the development of your designs successful going forward.
To get a sense of which brainstorming ideas generate the most
excitement, everyone on the team will vote on their favourites
while they are still fresh in your minds

31. ACTION

32. PROTOTYPE

33. EXPERIENCE MAPPING
It's very important to break your big idea into bite-sized pieces that
can be easily made and tested.A great way to do this is by creating
a user journey that maps how members of the community might
interact with your idea over time.

34. ACTION

35. MAKE PROTOTYPES
• Create a model
• Create a mockup
• Create an Ad
• Create a Role Play
• Create a story
• Map out the structure, network, journey or process of idea

36. ACTION

37. GET FEEDBACK
As part of your research, you spoke with many people and used
what you learned to brainstorm new ideas.As part of the Prototype
stage, it's time to return to users and begin getting feedback on
your ideas.

38. ACTION

39. CAPTURE LEARNING
Feedback conversations are rich in information, and the subtle
impressions of a participant’s reactions are often the most
important to remember.Take some time right after your session to
capture what you have observed.

40. INTEGRATE FEEDBACK
Feedback is invaluable to developing an idea, but can also be quite
confusing. It may be contradictory or may not align with your goals.
Sort through the responses you receive and decide on what to
integrate in your next iteration.
