Design thinking is a creative approach to problem-solving that involves a series of steps, such as empathizing with the user, defining the problem, ideating solutions, prototyping and testing, and implementing the chosen solution.
Inspire
The first step in the design thinking process is inspiration, or filling the designer with the desire or ability to do something. This is often where new ideas are born, and can involve research, observation, and other methods of gathering information.
Ideate
The second step is ideation, or generating and exploring ideas. This typically involves brainstorming and concept development, in order to come up with as many ideas as possible. The goal of ideation is to generate a wide range of possibilities, without evaluating or judging them too critically.
Implement
The third step is implementation, or putting the idea into action. This is where the chosen idea is developed and executed. Implementation often involves planning, organizing, and coordinating resources to turn the idea into a reality.
