Design Thinking Applied

 Design Thinking principles and how it is applied in the QT Practice:

 •   Design is most often used to describe an object or end result,
 •   Design in its most effective form is a process, an action, a verb not a
     noun
 •   Not a “thing” but a way
 •   A protocol for solving problems and discovering new opportunities
 •   Provides long term results and repeatable processes for culture change


       Traditional                                  Design
• „Techniques & Tools‟                   “Product vs. Experience”
• Core Processes stay the same           Processes as a System-Systems
• Unsustainable results                  are Different
Quantum Thinking‟s Practice is not only about developing a culture of
     design thinking. It‟s also about “transformational design”



                    The concept of ‘transformational design’ is
                    about developing methods and culture that
                    ensures all tools, structures, and processes are
                    optimized for continually meeting the user
                    communities evolving learning needs and
                    aspirations”


                     Not a static engagement

   This is a continuous evolving process of designing, shaping and
     reiterating to the changing needs of a learning community
Questions

•   What is the opportunity gap? (product opportunity gap)
     o Political, Environment, Social, Technology and Economic factors?

•   What‟s missing from current institutional consulting services
    landscape? (Bain north texas)

•   What institutional change is needed ?

•   Does a Design Thinking approach make sense?
•   Is Design Thinking a framework that can change institutional culture
•   Can this approach be effectively adopted?
•   Are the product offerings that provide services/product revenue
    contribution as a scalable business?
