This document outlines the design thinking process which includes understanding the problem, researching benchmarks and insights, identifying opportunities and problems, designing a strategy, prototyping solutions, and implementing the final solution. The process involves studying the problem, researching other solutions, looking for unidentified opportunities, gathering all potential problems, designing objectives to solve problems, testing prototype models, and developing the best solution.

2. Understanding
the Problem

3. / Understanding the Problem
1. Study what the problem is
2. List possible doubts and questions
3. Answer the doubts and questions

Research

5. / Benchmark/Research
1. Check out other similar projects
2. Learn about other solutions and problem solving
3. Research new solutions
4. Gather Insights

6. Identify
Opportunities

7. / Identify Opportunities
1. Look for opportunities that were not noticed by any
other project or company
2. Technology can always help. What can we bring
from tech to apply on this project?

8. Identify
Problems

9. / Identify Problems
1. Gather all the problems that could be a barrier
2. Identify by yourself other problems that were not
identified in the previous stages

10. Design
Strategy

11. / Design Strategy
1. The new design should achieve an or some
objectives to solve the actual problems identified
2. Attending the needs and opportunities
3. Take advantage of technology
4. Provide innovation/security/experience

12. Prototype

13. / Prototype
1. Make a model of the possible solution to the
redesign
2. Test

14. Solution

15. / Solution
1. After testing the possible models, one should come
up as the final and best
2. Design/Produce/Install
