Understanding design thinking in practice: a qualitative study of design led ...Zaana Jaclyn
PhD dissertation.
Abstract
Design thinking is a collaborative and human centred approach to solving problems. Over the past decade design thinking has evolved considerably, particularly with regard to innovation within the sectors of design and business. Despite this sharp rise to popularity there remains limited understanding of how design thinking is applied in practice and little empirical investigation into this subject. Without this understanding further informed application and development of the approach will be hampered.
The ‘design led professional’ is an individual who uses design approaches in their work practices whose education and experience however may not necessarily be in design. The central aim of this thesis is to understand how the ‘design led professional’ applies design thinking in practice with large organisations where the focus is on designing intangible products such as systems, services and experiences. The thesis addresses the research problem through the exploration of the question: How does the design led professional understand and enact design thinking in practice? This question is explored within the context of the design led professional working with large organisations.
A qualitative research approach was adopted, which involved ethnographic methods of semi structured interviews, artefact analysis and participant observation. Data was collected across three studies: an expert interview study, a retrospective case study and a participatory case study. The constant comparative grounded theory method was used to analyse and synthesise data.
Research findings, contextualised within relevant literature, reveal the composition of design thinking in practice: as constrained by the approach taken in applying design thinking; the maturity of the design led professional and the environment in which design thinking is conducted.
On this basis two models are proposed in the conclusion as a foundation for further application and development. The first presents a scale of design thinking maturity based upon two perspectives of design thinking as a way of work and a way of life. The second model maps the interdependent relationship between the three components of design thinking in practice of the approach, the design led professional and the environment in which it is conducted.
The evidence generated through this research provides a framework to assist the public and those who practice design thinking to better understand and articulate design thinking. In addition it provides a foundation for further empirical research that explores the realistic application of design thinking in practice and the critical role of the design led professional.

This document discusses social innovation and its relationship to design. It provides definitions of social innovation as innovations that meet social needs and generate new social relationships. Examples include the Open University, Wikipedia, microfinance, and hospice. The document discusses how social innovation differs from business innovation in focusing on social return rather than financial return. It outlines approaches to design for social innovation from the UK, Italy, and US and provides case studies of specific social innovation projects in these regions that address issues like poverty, health, and economic empowerment through human-centered design approaches. The document advocates for social innovation to be rooted in local contexts and involve continuous collaboration between diverse stakeholders over time.

Canadian Newcomers In the New World of WorkKhaled Islaih
The document discusses the transition from the old industrial economy to the new knowledge economy and the challenges this presents for newcomers to Canada. It argues that traditional settlement programs are not adequately addressing the interconnected challenges newcomers face related to jobs, families, housing, language barriers and credential recognition in the new economy. It proposes taking a transformational approach through holistic integration programs, networking opportunities to connect newcomers to the Canadian economy, and building learning communities to provide long-term support and help newcomers reframe their challenges. This approach would benefit newcomers, businesses, communities and the Canadian economy.
Canadian Newcomers in the New World of WorkKhaled Islaih
This document discusses the transition from the old industrial economy to the new knowledge economy and the challenges this presents for newcomers to Canada. It notes that work in the new economy is more fluid, focuses on sharing knowledge, can be done remotely, and offers less job security. Newcomers face challenges integrating due to interconnected settlement issues and lack of support. The document argues for a transformational approach that provides holistic support through learning communities and networking to help newcomers develop skills for the new economy and engage in their communities. This approach would benefit newcomers, businesses, communities and the economy.
Impact partnerships bring together organizations from different sectors like government, corporations, non-profits to tackle complex social problems. They follow a process of discovery and design, engagement, delivery, and amplifying lessons learned. Impact partnerships can develop new solutions at scale and improve how government partners with other sectors to address key issues. Examples provided demonstrate how impact partnerships have addressed challenges like urban drone use and developing projects to support an inclusive economy.

The Next Big Thing Urbanism Workshop was an initiative to take previous design and community development efforts of Glass House Collective to the next level.
During a two-day intensive design workshop, over 100 workshop participants proposed ways to improve Glass Street while maintaining a realistic attitude about both big and small moves that, collectively, could begin to enhance the prospects for the neighborhood and its citizens.
Teams were asked to consider how improved urbanism could have a positive impact on various aspects of the neighborhood, including business viability, quality public spaces, access to services, improved housing options, increased public safety, and opportunities for the community to engage and contribute.
Designs needed to leverage the variety of assets that already exist in the community including physical places, existing businesses, individuals, organizations, previous accomplishments, and sections of the built environment.
What resulted were dozens of creative, realistic, and scalable urban revitalization tactics for improving residential, commercial, and public space within a 5 minute walk radius surrounding historic Glass Street, each contributing to the revitalization effort already underway. Designs specifically addressed implementation within 1 month, 1 year, 3 year time frames, prioritizing lighter, quicker, and cheaper techniques.
While not all the proposals generated will be implemented as designed, they will be the basis of successive small neighborhood workshops to explore specific concepts, projects, and implementation tactics reflecting the residential, commercial, and public space needs of the Glass Street community. Glass House Collective will work with the neighborhood to adapt designs, ultimately using a bunch of little things to create the next big thing on the street.
Using the lenses that Glass House Collective sees their work through, the Outcomes of The Next Big Thing Urbanism Workshop have been organized into three categories:
• Here Because We Love It Here, proposals focused on Creative Placemaking
• Bringing Life Back to Glass Street, proposals focused on Feet on the Streets
• The Next Big Thing, proposals focused on New Partnerships
Not all proposals developed during the workshop are included in this document; however, those that most closely meet the mission of Glass House Collective have been compiled and described in the pages that follow. The appendix lists all project proposals from each team.

Community economic development (CED) involves collective action by community members to improve quality of life through various initiatives and activities. CED aims to develop communities from within by building local capacity, focusing on people over purely economic growth, and ensuring decisions are made locally according to community goals and needs through participatory and sustainable approaches. Some key CED strategies include keeping money circulating within the local economy, adding value to locally produced goods and services for export, supporting local businesses, and maximizing use of community assets and resources.

Entrepreneurship Module Project
Model (2)
Entrepreneurship refers to the concept of developing and managing commercial projects in order
to earn profits by taking risks and taking many risks. Global.
The title of entrepreneur or businessman is given to the person who establishes a new business
project by himself and bears all the risks and consequences of this work, as he is seen as
innovative, creative, and a source of renewable ideas, modern products and services; It plays an
important role in any economy by using the necessary and necessary skills to anticipate market
needs and provide good and innovative ideas.
Entrepreneurship is classified into 4 types as follows:
Small Entrepreneurship: This type of entrepreneurship is represented by small stores; Like
hairdressing, grocery, carpentry, plumbing, etc., people run their own business or hire a family
member or local employees, and their earnings usually make them able to feed their families and
provide for their basic needs.
Scalable Entrepreneurship: In this type of entrepreneurship, the entrepreneur begins to create a
business that he realizes that he can bring about societal change through it. He attracts and
attracts investors who think outside the box, focuses on the search for measurable commercial
and experimental activities, and hires the best and most creative employees. .
Entrepreneurship of large companies: In this type of leadership, large companies continue to
introduce and modify their main products, as advances in technology, customer preferences, and
new competition increase pressure on these companies to produce innovative products and offer
them for sale to a new group of customers in new and different markets .
Social Entrepreneurship: This type of entrepreneurship focuses on producing products and
providing services that solve societal problems and cover the needs of society without achieving
any financial profits.
The endeavors of commercial projects and entrepreneurship have had a wide impact on economic
conditions, the business environment, and job creation in various countries. Here are some points
that illustrate the importance of entrepreneurship:
Economic progress and advancement: Commercial projects are what drive the wheel of economic
development and contribute significantly to the national income.
Promoting social change: Bridging the gap between product scarcity and demand would help
create a positive impact on people and produce fruitful results from a business point of view.
Providing job opportunities: Business companies contributed to providing new job opportunities for
beginners, training and providing them with experience, and providing experienced labor for large
industries.
Community development: If the labor base in the community is diversified among many small
entrepreneurial companies, it will allow the slums to diminish and increase spending on education,
entertainment and other activities, and thus the sta.
