Inspired by Design thinking
Design thinking
is a people-centered approach to creative action. It prioritizes empathy over rigidity, elegance over needless complexity, action over open-ended discussion.
is founded upon the idea that one-size-fits-all approaches can produce inefficiencies and needless friction, and teaches that care must be taken to understand the unique geometries of every challenge.
often involves “stepping back from the immediate issue and taking a broader look. It requires systems thinking: realizing that any problem is part of a larger whole, and that the solution is likely to require understanding the entire system.” Don Norman
More on Design Thinking at Stanford’s D-school and the Harvard Business Review.
Creating elegant efficiencies
through acute observation, empathetic conversation, open-minded problem solving, and (whenever possible) rich and memorable prose.
