This is the first in a series of posts documenting how I’m applying a design thinking approach to a project I’m working on.
“Design thinking is a problem-solving methodology that focuses heavily on involving users of a solution in its design” (Boller and Fletcher, 2020).
This definition comes from the book ‘Design Thinking for Training and Development’ by Sharon Boller and Laura Fletcher. It’s the first (that I know of) that frames design thinking in the context of learning and development. It’s a valuable source of ideas and templates and if you’d like to incorporate design thinking into your projects, get your hands on a copy of this book. The overarching framework that’s used tweaks the ‘traditional’ design thinking model.
