During the third stage of the Design Thinking process, designers are ready to start generating ideas. You’ve grown to understand your users and their needs in the Empathise stage, and you’ve analysed and synthesised your observations in the Define stage, and ended up with a human-centered problem statement. With this solid background, you and your team members can start to "think outside the box" to identify new solutions to the problem statement you’ve created, and you can start to look for alternative ways of viewing the problem.
Ideation is at the heart of the Design Thinking process. Ideation sessions help you to challenge assumptions, think outside the box, and explore uncharted territory. In the ideation phase, you explore and come up with as many ideas as possible.
In this presentation guide, you will learn and develop skills in six types of ideation techniques that can be used in the Design Thinking cycle. They include:
1. Brainstorming
2. 2 x 2 Matrix
3. Dot Voting
4. 6-3-5 Method (Brainwriting)
5. Special Brainstorming (Negative Brainstorming, Figuring Storming, and Bodystorming)
6. NABC (Need, Approach, Benefit and Competition)
This guide provides a means to introduce ideation techniques to your workshop participants other than the traditional brainstorming method. It helps to make your ideation sessions fun and exciting.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Gain knowledge on the various ideation techniques that can be used in the design thinking cycle.
2. Develop skills in the application of ideation techniques.
3. Understand the expert tips and key learnings of ideation techniques.

Developed by students at Stanford University, the Design Thinking approach was created to establish a new way to grow innovative products, processes and services. The Design Thinking process consists of six iterative stages which enable participants to seek flexible solutions and innovations concerning the issue they treat.
One important aspect of Design Thinking is the creation and cultivation of ideas within a well-coordinated team. Thus, the team spirit is a decisive element during Design Thinking operations and encourages to produce the best possible results. In addition to the team side of Design Thinking, a flexible and productive environment is crucial to develop inventive ideas and products. The more workable an environment, is the easier it is for employees to visualize and transmit thoughts and new concepts.

Design Thinking is a process for creative problem solving. It allows everyone to use creative tools to address a vast range of challenges. The process is action-oriented, embraces simple mindset shifts and tackles problems from a new direction.
According to McKinsey, companies that adopt design as part of business practices can be more resilient than others—continuing to innovate, analyze, and strategize to solve complex problems during trying times.
Some of the world's leading brands, such as Apple, Nike, Starbucks and GE, have rapidly adopted the Design Thinking approach. What's more, Design Thinking is being taught at leading universities around the world, including Stanford, Harvard and MIT.
Based on the world-renowned Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (Stanford University) model, Design Thinking encourages organizations to focus on the people they are creating for, which leads to better products, services, and internal processes. The Design Thinking framework consists of five modes or phases: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test. The framework is fully compatible with Lean and Six Sigma approaches.
This comprehensive Design Thinking PPT training presentation is tailored specifically for Design Thinking facilitators, trainers, professionals and consultants who are preparing for delivery in a classroom or workshop environment. The included wallet design exercise could be replaced with your own design challenge. In addition, the introductory module can be used as a stand-alone awareness briefing material for a general audience.
You will get to train your target audiences how to solve problems creatively by building empathy, generating ideas, prototyping and testing new concepts before final implementation.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Acquire a deep understanding of the key concepts and principles of Design Thinking
2. Understand the mindsets, process, methods and tools in creative problem solving
3. Develop skills in applying Design Thinking mindsets and practices in problem solving

Visible Thinking is a broad and flexible framework for enriching workplace learning in the content areas and fostering team members’ intellectual development at the same time.
The central idea of Visible Thinking is very simple: making thinking visible.
In this presentation, Abhishek tries to explore how Visible Thinking can be applied in an organisation.
This is a term paper for psychology 101 course offered to our batch, it covers the basics about lateral thinking in a very simple way and has some examples about the same.
Design Thinking : Prototyping & TestingSankarshan D
The design team will now produce a number of inexpensive, scaled down versions of the product or specific features found within the product, so they can investigate the problem solutions generated in the previous stage. Prototypes may be shared and tested within the team itself, in other departments, or on a small group of people outside the design team.

During the Define stage, you put together the information you have created and gathered during the Empathise stage. This is where you will analyse your observations and synthesise them in order to define the core problems that you and your team have identified up to this point. You should seek to define the problem as a problem statement in a human-centred manner.
Design Thinking is a design methodology that provides a solution-based approach to solving problems. The first stage of Design Thinking is to Empathise. During the empathise phase, the designer spends time getting to know the user and understanding their needs, wants, and objectives.

By exploring a case in Ahmedabad, it highlights the challenges and processes in dairy farming across different environments, emphasising the need for sustainable practices and the essential role of milk in daily consumption.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
4. What is Ideating?
Ideation is the process where you generate ideas and solutions
through sessions such as Sketching,
Prototyping, Brainstorming, Brainwriting, Worst Possible Idea, and a
wealth of other ideation techniques. Ideation is also the third stage in
the Design Thinking process.
Ideation Will Help You:

5. Ideation Will Help You:
▷ Ask the right questions and innovate with a strong focus on
your users, their needs, and your insights about them.
▷ Step beyond the obvious solutions and therefore increase
the innovation potential of your solution.
▷ Bring together perspectives and strengths of your team
members.
▷ Uncover unexpected areas of innovation.
▷ Create volume and variety in your innovation options.
▷ Get obvious solutions out of your heads, and drive your team
beyond them.

6. ““Ideation is the mode of the design process in
which you concentrate on idea generation.
Mentally it represents a process of ‘going
wide’ in terms of concepts and outcomes.
Ideation provides both the fuel and also the
source material for building prototypes and
getting innovative solutions into the hands of
your users.”
– D.school, An Introduction to Design
Thinking PROCESS GUIDE

8. The role of Ideation
Contrary to the conventional wisdom that too many ideas leave
you confused, directionless, or unable to make a decision, your
goal here should be quantity not quality.
And here is the best part: no idea is a bad idea. Go after weird,
unusual ideas instead of common sense solutions. Do you know
how many indispensable innovations that you can’t imagine life
without have come from unusual, nonsensical, unreasonable,
bold, impossible ideas?
8
9. ▷ It sounds counterintuitive and counterproductive but in
Design Thinking this is the zone of endless creative
possibilities. It is better to have a surplus of ideas than to
have to just enough ideas. A diversity of ideas will bring
about the best, most creative and appropriate solution.
▷ During Ideation you release your mind from the mentality of
“finding a right solution”, get the obvious solution out of the
way, and embrace the broadest possibilities available to you
through this process. Ideation is about exploring all varieties
of ideas by multiple voices in the team. You get to ask the
right questions and discover unexpected areas of
innovation.

▷ Ideation comprises both divergent and convergent
thinking. Divergent thinking is creating and
generating numerous choices. Convergent thinking is
narrowing down and zeroing in on a handful of very
specific choices that are most likely to solve the
problem. Convergent thinking involves synthesis.
Convergent thinking is also analytical.
▷ Convergent and divergent thinking is a continuous
process through out the ideation stage and the
whole problem solving process of Design Thinking.
The team may discover that it needs to go back and
do more research in order to redefine the problem
again. It is a process that is always ongoing.
Divergent and Convergent
Thinking
12. Tools for Idea generation
There are many tools for ideation. The most common
being brainstorming
▷ Brainstorming
▷ How might we?
▷ Body storming
▷ Game storming
▷ Mind Maps
▷ Analogous Inspiration
▷ Sketchboards
We’ll be focusing on Brainstorming, How might we?, Mind Maps, and
Analogous Inspiration.

Conventional group problem solving can often be
undermined by unhelpful group behavior . And while it's
important to start with a structured, analytical
process when solving problems, this can lead a group to
develop limited and unimaginative ideas.
By contrast, brainstorming provides a free and open
environment that encourages everyone to participate.
Quirky ideas are welcomed and built upon, and all
participants are encouraged to contribute fully, helping
them develop a rich array of creative solutions.
Power of Brainstorming
15. 15
When used during problem solving, brainstorming
brings team members' diverse experience into play. It
increases the richness of ideas explored, which means
that you can often find better solutions to the problems
that you face.
It can also help you get buy-in from team members for
the solution chosen – after all, they're likely to be more
committed to an approach if they were involved in
developing it. What's more, because brainstorming is
fun, it helps team members bond, as they solve problems
in a positive, rewarding environment.
While brainstorming can be effective, it's important to
approach it with an open mind and a spirit of non-
judgment. If you don't do this, people "clam up," the
number and quality of ideas plummets, and morale can
suffer.

Yellow
Is the color of gold, butter
and ripe lemons. In the
spectrum of visible light,
yellow is found between
green and orange.
Blue
Is the colour of the clear sky
and the deep sea. It is
located between violet and
green on the optical
spectrum.
Red
Is the color of blood, and
because of this it has
historically been associated
with sacrifice, danger and
courage.

A mind map is a tool for the brain that captures the
thinking that goes on inside your head. Mind mapping
helps you think, collect knowledge, remember and
create ideas. Most likely it will make you a better
thinker.
Mind maps can be created in many different ways, but
they share the same basics
Mind Mapping
20. Central theme
A central theme is placed in the centre of a
blank page. This is the title, the subject, a
problem or just a thought. When thinking
of something images automatically take
form in your head. For example the image
of a “colorful bunch of balloons” when
thinking of “birthday”..
Basics of Mind Mapping
20
21. 21
Associations
From the central theme associations
radiate out. Associations directly from the
central theme are called first level
associations. Then second level
associations are created, third level and so
on. The brain thinks by imagination and
association. When associations are
created, connections are made. These
connections are essential for
remembering and thinking.
Curved Lines
Associations are often drawn as curved
lines. They are curved rather than
straight, because the brain likes curves.
22. 22
Keywords
Mind maps summarize information.
Instead of sentences, ideally only single
keywords are used. A single word per
association gives more freedom, creativity
and clarity.
Colour and Images
The use of color is important in the mind
map. Research shows that people who use
color and images in their imagination,
when they are learning, are better in
remembering than those who don’t.

Hospital emergency rooms have been inspired by F1 pit stop
crews. Henry Ford's assembly line was inspired by observing
systems within slaughterhouses and grain warehouses.
Executives, artists, writers and all kinds of other creative
professionals have relied on creating analogies as a powerful
tool for empathising with audiences and communicating and
sparking ideas. An analogy is a comparison between two
things—for instance, a comparison of a heart to a pump. We
communicate in analogies all the time, as they allow us to
express our ideas or to explain complex matters in an
understandable and motivating way.
Analogous Inspiration
25. 25
The ideation technique of using analogies goes by many
names. Essentially, it all boils down to
exploring unrelated concepts for an insight, which you
can apply to your own problem's context. These insights
on how principles or characteristics exist within one
context may help inform how to reshape these principles
and solutions within a different context. Purposely
stoking ideation teams to dig for analogies gets them
thinking about the attributes of the elements they are
working on in a different way. It will help the team seek
inspiration in problem solving, reconfigure the design
problem and come up with unconventional solutions.
