Creativity and innovation are important for organizations but can be stifled by various factors. Creativity involves imaginative processes that create original and valuable outcomes, while innovation implements new ideas. Studies show children's creativity peaks at age 4 but then declines as parents and society discourage natural creative tendencies. To foster creativity, organizations should create an inspiring atmosphere without fear of failure, value contributions over hours worked, offer opportunities for play, and encourage meaningful collaboration over just completing tasks efficiently. Physical and social environments also impact creativity. Sustainability practices can benefit organizations through competitive advantages and satisfying social pressures from customers.
The document discusses design thinking and starting a social business. It defines a social business as a non-profit company where all profits go back into the business and employees only receive modest salaries. The presenter then explains the five elements of design thinking: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. For each element, it provides a brief definition and description based on the IDEO design thinking model. The presentation aims to help people understand how to use design thinking to create a sustainable social venture.
The document discusses design thinking as a process for solving problems and discovering opportunities. It defines design thinking as a human-centered, collaborative, optimistic, and experimental mindset for transforming challenges into design opportunities. The core steps of the design thinking process are described as empathizing to understand user experiences, defining insights and opportunities, ideating potential solutions, prototyping ideas rapidly, and testing prototypes with users.

Design thinking is a user-centered way to conceive and create a successful product. Design Thinking is a methodology used by designers to solve complex problems, and find desirable solutions for clients. A design mindset is not problem-focused, it’s solution focused and action oriented towards creating a preferred future. Design Thinking draws upon logic, imagination, intuition, and systemic reasoning, to explore possibilities of what could be—and to create desired outcomes that benefit the end user (the customer)
Design thinking combines problem-solving techniques from design with empathy for users. It is a human-centered approach that starts by observing people and understanding their needs rather than defining problems. The five principles of design thinking are to empathize with users, define insights about their needs, ideate potential solutions, prototype ideas, and test prototypes with users to find the best solution. An example is how PepsiCo used design thinking to address women's snacking preferences by releasing quieter Doritos chips in trays to avoid mess and noise.
The key points:
▫️Empathy in business and how to measure it?
▫️Design thinking tools
▫️How to handle uncertainty as the project evolves?
▫️Design thinking in IT — how does it work?
▫️Tips and tricks on design thinking methodology.
Design has slowly shifted from outcome oriented process to a thinking oriented process that does problem solving.

This document discusses collective innovation and outlines a service innovation process. It defines creativity and innovation, noting that systematic and collective innovation are important. Several quotes emphasize that innovation must be part of planning to overcome challenges and solve problems. The document then outlines a service innovation process involving shared outcomes, customer insight, proactive creativity, options, and action planning. It concludes with contact information for the speaker.
Design thinking is a creative process that combines analytical and creative thinking to solve problems. It involves building ideas through experimentation and quick prototyping to get early feedback. Innovation is a byproduct of design thinking and involves being comfortable with uncertainty, believing the best solutions are yet to be found, and a willingness to fail early and often. Good design thinkers have an observing eye, question things beyond the obvious, and are willing to experiment. Design thinking is about understanding people through positive emotional experiences rather than just focusing on products.

Design Thinking is a method for the practical and creative resolution of problems through design with a comprehensive understanding of stakeholders, users, or customers. There has been significant coverage in the literature on this method, much in connection to Stanford’s d.school. This widely adopted method has direct application in engineering. Through this breakout, participants will learn some of the core concepts of design thinking and available resources. Participants will discuss how to leverage the overlap of design thinking and entrepreneurial mindset.
The document discusses the design thinking approach for social innovation. It describes design thinking as a user-centered approach that develops solutions grounded in user needs through prototyping and an iterative process. Design thinking incorporates consumer insights and improvisation. It was initially adopted by businesses and is now increasingly used by non-profits. Design thinking follows a non-linear process of inspiration, ideation, and implementation to develop solutions that usually only work locally. It emphasizes empathy, intuition, and emotion over rational analysis. The document raises questions about whether design thinking's standardized approach and toolkits can truly develop appropriate solutions for the developing world or if it risks imposing external solutions.

This document discusses creativity and innovation for school leaders. It begins by defining creativity as using imagination rather than routine skills to imagine new solutions. It then discusses why innovation is important, noting that schools that do not innovate will decline. The document outlines some key challenges schools may face in the next 10 years and areas for potential innovation, such as teaching and learning processes. It also discusses common barriers to creativity and provides techniques to overcome blocks and generate new ideas, such as brainstorming, visualization, and mind mapping. Finally, it covers how to effectively pitch and sell new creative ideas to decision-makers by addressing potential objections and doing homework to build support.
The document discusses design thinking as a strategy for problem solving and innovation. Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the needs of people to create new solutions. It emphasizes empathy, creativity, and rationality in developing ideas. The design thinking process involves defining problems from a human perspective, ideating many potential solutions, and rapidly prototyping and testing ideas. Tips for applying design thinking include using multidisciplinary teams, dedicating space and timeframes to projects, and maintaining optimism, experimentation, and collaboration.
Design thinking is a 5-stage process used to solve complex problems in an innovative way. The 5 stages are: empathize to understand user needs, define the problem from their perspective, ideate potential solutions, prototype the top ideas, and test them with users. It provides a human-centered approach to problem solving by gaining empathy for users and iterating on solutions.
This document provides an overview of the design thinking process, which includes 5 key steps: empathy, define, ideate, prototype, and test. It describes the goals and activities for each step. For example, in the empathy step the goals are to observe and engage with users through interviews and immersions. In the ideation step, the goal is to brainstorm ideas through techniques like deferring judgment and building on others' ideas. The overall process is iterative and allows refining solutions based on user testing.
The document discusses the Green Thinking Hat method of thinking creatively. It is part of the Six Thinking Hats framework where each colored hat represents a different mode of thinking. The Green Hat focuses on creativity, new ideas, growth and alternatives. It encourages thinking outside the box without limitations. Examples are provided of using creative, unexpected questions and perspectives to generate novel solutions. The role of the Green Hat is to expand thinking and unlock new understandings through ideas that break conventions. Objectives include thinking differently and providing innovative solutions by looking at problems from fresh angles.
This document outlines how to teach design thinking methodology to students through a chair design challenge. It describes the design thinking process which includes empathizing with end users through interviews and observations, rapidly prototyping ideas using paper, testing prototypes with users, building the chairs, testing throughout the building process, critiquing, and sharing lessons learned. The goal is for students to learn creative problem solving and experience the full design process.
The document discusses participatory design over the internet, also known as crowdsourcing creativity.

Group Dynamics refers to the study of human behavior in groups. There are primary and secondary groups, command and task groups, and in-groups and out-groups. Groups can be deliberately created to perform tasks, with hierarchies and rules guiding behavior. Informal groups form the company grapevine to ease stress. Group dynamics involve stages of forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Effective group decision making uses techniques like brainstorming, nominal groups, Delphi, and dialectic methods. Roles in groups include task roles like information giving and seeking, and relationship roles like encouraging participation and relieving tension.
