The document discusses applying design thinking to help students at Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano solve unexpected problems. It outlines understanding the problem by having students represent their design process and identifying key variables affecting learning. It will evaluate the representations and brainstorm solutions. Random thoughts further discuss design thinking's human-centric viewpoint, exploring and experimenting to connect past and present to solve problems for the future. Context-based design understands user relationships in their environment. Design and prototyping builds to think through continuous feedback. Reliability and validity in design thinking explores new ideas intuitively and analyzes what is happening analytically.

4. How can
apply
design
thinking?
Problem:
Recently we have discovered that most
design students from Universidad Jorge
Tadeo Lozano fail in the process of
getting a job or maintaining one.
After interviews and studies with agencies and other
employers in town, we have discovered that our
students can’t solve unexpected problems.

6. OUR GOAL
- Educate our students to be
capable in solving wicked and
unexpected problems
applying a design thinking
approach.

8. UNDERSTAND
- A group of students will
be asked to represent
the process they go
trough when they have
to design.
EVALUATION
- After finishing it they
will be answer
- The representations
questions about the should be evaluated
exercise. and analyzed
- Find the key variables - Brainstorming for
that affect their solutions or ideas.
learning process
- A group of teachers will
be asked to do a list of
competences that their
students have at this
pint.

9. Random thoughts about
Design Thinking
Rules of Design Thinking:
What makes a design thinker different
from the others thinkers is his/her
human-centric point of view, the courage
to explore, experiment and face the
failures, the ability to connect the
present to the past to give a solution to
the problem in advance for the future,
and make this ideas/solutions tangible.

10. Context-based design
Understanding the specific needs and
behaviors of our users shouldn’t be only
related to the activities they realize, the
goals they want to reach or the objects
they interact with everyday. A bigger
understand of our users is the one that
go deeper and examine the relationships
between all these variables in the
environment that surrounds the user.

11. Design and prototyping:
According to Tim Brown we build to think
and that implies Design thinking is a
constant prototyping process. The only
way to give the right solutions to a
problem is having a continuous feedback.
“Design is never done”

12. Reliability and validity
Roger Martin explain design thinking as
“the form of thinking that has both
reliability and validity in mind and
captures aspects of analytical thinking
and intuitive thinking” so their approach
gives the opportunity to explore new
things (intuitive) and explode what is
happening (analytical), the right
combination to face future challenges.

13. “Integrative thinkers consider the
problem as a whole, rather than
breaking it down and farming out the
parts. Finally, they creatively resolve
tensions without making costly trade-
offs, turning challenges into
opportunities.”
Roger Martin. The opposable mind
