Intro Design Thinking (DT)
DT / What is it?
Design Thinking is a mindset for creative problem solving developed by Larry Leifer, David Kelley and Terry Winograd at Stanford University. The aim of the approach is to bring together as many as possible different experiences and perspectives in respect to a possible problem situation. This approach leads to breakthrough innovations.
DT / How does it work?
Design Thinking tries to generate innovations from the intersection of human desirability, economic feasibility and technical feasibility. The focus is on the user and customer needs respectively. The products, services, processes and business models, etc., are developed in accordance to their needs by the means of an iterative approach.
DT / Why does it matter?
The Design Thinking mindset fits well with the demand for agile and flat organizational structures Especially in a world in which the rate of change is steadily increasing. It changes our view of problems, team structures, customers and processes in the development of solutions. Thus, it can help us to drive the digital transformation and to develop superior experiences for our customers.

"We must constantly reflect upon and advance our design thinking mindset. New technologies and progressing digitization offer new opportunities for the development of ideas and the design of customer experiences"
"The design thinking mindset and its adaptation to the respective context are more important than the process. Since all agile approaches have basically the same mindset, you can learn a great deal from the other approaches."
"Steve Jobs said it in a nutshell: “Think different!” The correct phrase, of course, would be: “Think differently!” With this, he had expressed the essence of design thinking: don’t necessarily do what is expected as being the right thing."
