This module introduces the mechanics AND the underlying logic/theory of the IDEO human centered design thinking process. We will introduce the shape of a typical DT workshop with special emphasis on skills/mindsets such as (1) you are not the user, (2) research before ideas, (3) downloading research to the group, (4) creative collaboration in disciplined brainstorming, (5) clustering and prioritizing, (6) prototyping as learning experiments, (7) using feedback and iterating.
