Design thinking is a process that emphasizes empathy, collaboration, iteration, and testing to solve problems. It involves four key pillars: empathizing with users' needs, collaborating across disciplines, including every idea for evaluation, and repeating and testing solutions. The design thinking process moves from defining a problem space to developing solutions in an iterative fashion. Various organizations describe design thinking using similar steps such as empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test.
