What does Design Thinking mean?

Design thinking is a creative problem-solving method that focuses on people and their needs. The aim is to develop innovative solutions for complex problems - often in the areas of product development, services or business processes. A design thinking continuing education, further training or innovation course teaches you exactly this structured approach.

The design thinking process typically takes place in several steps:

  • Understanding: The problem and the target group are analyzed
  • Observation (empathy): users' needs are recorded
  • Define: The core problem is clearly formulated
  • Developing ideas: Creative solutions are collected
  • Building prototypes: First simple solutions are created
  • Testing: Solutions are tried out and improved

A key feature of design thinking is close collaboration in interdisciplinary teams and the rapid testing and adaptation of ideas.

Conclusion: Design thinking is a creative and user-oriented method for solving complex problems and is used particularly in innovation, product development and management.
