Scenario:
Your group work as a Design Thinking professionals for Victoria University. VU wants you to develop series of prototype that will help enhance Student’s experience at Foyer of your University. They have asked your group to re-design student’s experience by applying Design Thinking Principals.
Task:
You are encouraged to undertake a group activity, similar to your Design Thinking workshop to come up with a potential prototype. Individually, you should maintain a digital notebook or document your thoughts from different stages of your process. The goal is to understand the role of Design Thinking in providing human-centric solutions.
When choosing to develop prototype, make sure to go with promising idea or a wild idea.
We are more interested in seeing the evaluation of your thoughts and investigation. At the end of the case, you will be rated by your group members and provide feedback to them regarding their collaboration, contribution, and organization in the group.
As said, “Design Thinking is learned in practice and not just theory!”

Design thinking also known as human-centered design, leads with empathy and designs with the community and considers human factors like taking into account human needs, perception, capacity and culture to design solutions in partnership with the communities that designers serve. The approach instead of focusing solely on one big idea, and making assumptions about the needs and capacities of developing communities allows to look at an existing issue in a company using creativity. The steps of the design-thinking process are to listen and empathize, understand experiences through research, repeatedly test the effectiveness, ask communities and people the right questions, focus on how to effectively consider these human factors when designing a solution, observe people and their behavior, prototype proposed solutions and implement the solution finally. It also gives an opportunity to take a look at problems from a completely different perspective.
