What is design thinking? The 5 Principles of Design Thinking

1. Design Thinking

2. What is design thinking?
More than a methodology or framework, design thinking
combines the problem-solving roots of design with deep
empathy for the user.

3. “The mission of design thinking is to translate
observation into insights and insights into
products and services that will improve lives.”

4. What’s Design thinking
about?

5. Finding Solutions
Fresh and creative solutions to problems, but in a way that
puts people and their needs first.

6. Human-centered
Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation.
Instead of starting with a problem, design thinking starts with
observation and understanding of the culture and the context
of a problem, rather than the problem.

7. The 5 Principles of
Design Thinking

8. ① Empathize:
Understand Your Audience
Understanding the beliefs, values, and needs what make your
audience tick. It involves observation, watching, listening to.

9. ② Define:
Establish a Point of View
What says all the information you’ve collected about your
audience and their needs.

10. ③ Ideate:
Focus on Possible Solutions
This stage is a brain dump of ideas, come up with as many
possibilities as you can.

11. ④ Prototype:
Try Out Multiple Solutions
The goal is to put the best ideas to the test. The process of
building a prototype will help clarify the problem even more
and offer new insights or new solutions that you hadn’t
thought of before.

12. ⑤ Test:
Find the Best Solution
By learning more about the audience. You may discover that
you didn’t define the problem correctly or failed to understand
your audience. Or you might just need to refine the prototype
a little.

13. Any stage of the design thinking
process can be repeated or
returned to as needed. Empathize Define

14. Case of Study:
PepsiCo

15. How PepsiCo uses
design thinking?
Let’s say: We’d put Doritos, in a pink bag and say it’s for
women. That’s fine, but there’s more to how women like to
snack.
For example: Women worry about how much the product may
stain.

16. Their solution
PepsiCo released a new line of Doritos in China that come in a
tray.
The chip is also less noisy to eat: Women don’t want people to
hear them crunching away.

17. “Design is more than the aesthetics associated
with products; it’s a strategic function that
focuses on what people want and need and dream
of, then crafts experiences across the full brand
ecosystem that are meaningful and relevant for
customers.”
