The Four Phases of Design Thinking
Really enjoyed this article that outlines the four basic phases of design thinking. Great designers do all four; mediocre designers specialize in only a few areas. This could be a great way to measure the success of a project as well.
- Question - Asking basic “why” questions and challenging assumptions.
- Care - Empathizing with human needs.
- Connect - Synthesizing information in new ways.
- Commit - Giving form to an idea.
