Problem Seeing vs. Problem Solving: How to Plan Design Thinking Projects

The Design Gym

<H2>What is The Practice Lab?</H2>
There is a critical step that exists between learning design thinking (Bootcamps) and actually leading it in your organization – practice! The Practice Lab offering creates a safe and supportive environment to practice design thinking skills. We will help you build the creative muscle memory before you take them into the real world.
Practice labs are about 10% teaching, 80% practicing, and 10% reflecting. Here’s what you can expect in each one:
– Going deep on a skill related to design thinking, facilitation, and sketching (ex. interviewing skills, facilitating ideation sessions, etc…)
– Spending a lot of time practicing! (though we’ll still give you a little theory)
– Practicing activities solo and with a group
– Giving and receive feedback
– Debriefing on your own and with the group to share best practices

A new project just came through and you were asked to be involved. You’ve been exposed to the design thinking process but aren’t sure how to bring it to life. Lucky for you, you aren’t alone! Knowing when and how to apply design thinking to projects is a mixture of art and science, and it’s a skill to be built over time. Lucky for you again, we’ve boiled the essentials into this Practice Lab.
Here are the essential design thinking skills you’ll get to hone in this workshop:
– Build an understanding of what problems are best suited for design thinking, and which ones might not need it (learning how to see problems clearly)
– Learn the framework of a good design thinking brief, and frame one of your own problems in a well thought out brief
– Learn how to properly frame problems and apply constraints
– Use research mapping as a tool to begin planning projects against
Remember – practice labs are all about you getting practice, so teaching time will be minimal, with most emphasis put on you practicing these skills and getting direct coaching from the teachers.
By the end of class you’ll have properly framed a problem you’re working on, crafted a brief around it, and structured the early stages of a project plan based on the design thinking process. Not bad for 3 hours!
