This involves consulting experts to find out more about the area of concern through observing, engaging and empathizing with people to understand their experiences and motivations, as well as immersing yourself in the physical environment so you can gain a deeper personal understanding of the issues involved.]]> 2021-10-22 01:20:31 UTC https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835080926 f8cgn72bbh https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835083134 During the Define stage, you put together the information you have created and gathered during the Empathise stage. This is where you will analyse your observations and synthesise them in order to define the core problems that you and your team have identified up to this point. You should seek to define the problem as a problem statement in a human-centred manner.]]> 2021-10-22 01:21:28 UTC https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835083134 f8cgn72bbh https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835084316 During the third stage of the Design Thinking process, designers are ready to start generating ideas. You’ve grown to understand your users and their needs in the Empathise stage, and you’ve analysed and synthesised your observations in the Define stage, and ended up with a human-centered problem statement. With this solid background, you and your team members can start to "think outside the box" to identify new solutions to the problem statement you’ve created, and you can start to look for alternative ways of viewing the problem. ]]> 2021-10-22 01:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835084316 f8cgn72bbh https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835085407 The design team will now produce a number of inexpensive, scaled down versions of the product or specific features found within the product, so they can investigate the problem solutions generated in the previous stage. Prototypes may be shared and tested within the team itself, in other departments, or on a small group of people outside the design team. This is an experimental phase, and the aim is to identify the best possible solution for each of the problems identified during the first three stages.]]> 2021-10-22 01:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835085407 f8cgn72bbh https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835087251 Designers or evaluators rigorously test the complete product using the best solutions identified during the prototyping phase. This is the final stage of the 5 stage-model, but in an iterative process, the results generated during the testing phase are often used to redefine one or more problems and inform the understanding of the users, the conditions of use, how people think, behave, and feel, and to empathise.]]> 2021-10-22 01:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835087251 f8cgn72bbh https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835096670 2021-10-22 01:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835096670 f8cgn72bbh https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835103401 2021-10-22 01:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835103401 f8cgn72bbh https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835109315 2021-10-22 01:32:38 UTC https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835109315 f8cgn72bbh https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835112785 2021-10-22 01:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835112785 f8cgn72bbh https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835113699 2021-10-22 01:34:41 UTC https://padlet.com/f8cgn72bbh/64o1awwdj9aatpqk/wish/1835113699
