2. Design Thinking Strategy entails gaining a
deep understanding of the unmet needs of
the customers and users in the context of
a specific situation, such as interpreting
data, discovering insights, challenging
assumptions, exploring different
perspectives, and reframing problems to
find a viable solution.

3. Design Thinking may help you build
new solutions based on your clients'
needs, whether you work in any sector,
industrial, government, education, or
nonprofit. It entails posing a question,
gaining inspiration, developing ideas,
implementing them, and determining a
solution.

5. Design thinking is a non-linear approach to
seeing, shaping, and building that
incorporates insight into the process to meet
unforeseen concerns and problems that
appear to have no solution or whose answers
can only be achieved through multidisciplinary
approaches.
It employs the sensibility or mindsets of
designers and processes to generate new
ideas, solutions, alternatives, and options that
satisfy the needs of end-users or
stakeholders.

6. It is fundamentally abductive because it
necessitates clearing one's thoughts of
established solutions to solve new and
creative problems. Design thinking is
empathic, personal, subjective,
interpretive, and integrative. It is also
experimental, synthetic, pictorial,
dialectical, opportunistic, and hopeful,
fostering creativity.

7. Design Thinking Strategy differs from
other approaches in that it concentrates
on the process rather than the product. It
promotes positivity while removing the
fear of failure and maximising participants'
input and participation. It also follows a
creative process which is:

10. Through its holistic constructivist use in
complex interdisciplinary projects, design
thinkingis beneficial in developing 21st-
century learning. As a holistic approach
for design cognition and learning, design
thinking enables participants to
collaborate successfully in
multidisciplinary teams while solving
tough real-world challenges.

11. When used in a collaborative transdisciplinary
and interdisciplinary approach to issue
solving, Design Thinking has the power to
encourage creativity and innovation.
It has been used in various fields and
disciplines, including enterprise, innovation
work, education, and social good.
The application continues to attract and
inspire research that can be used for
operations, goods, services, strategies, and
management and a wide range of settings
outside of designers' typical preoccupations.

12. Although it was first solely investigated and
developed in relation to professional
designers, techniques and methodologies
that apply to other disciplines and
professions have been established.
Unlike traditional learning approaches,
design thinking is both a mindset and a
dynamic non-linear process. As a result of
the methods designers use, this strategy is
useful for businesses and society to
innovate and create change.
