Design Thinking

Design thinking is a method for developing new products or concepts, focusing on problem framing, solution orientation, and abductive reasoning. It involves observing situations, hypothesizing solutions, and testing them. Modeling is used to illustrate problems within given parameters, introducing novelty to concept development. Core tenets include redefining problems, identifying needs, benchmarking, ideating, building, and testing solutions.

What is the primary focus of design thinking when approaching a new product or concept?

• Market analysis

• Solution focus

• Problem framing

• Problem-solving

How does abductive reasoning contribute to design thinking?

• By eliminating all possible solutions

• By observing and forming hypotheses

• By providing a step-by-step solution

• By focusing on market trends

What is the role of modeling in design thinking?

• To conduct market research

• To finalize the solution

• To graphically illustrate the problem

• To create a physical prototype

Which of the following is NOT a core tenet of design thinking?

• Redefining a problem

• Ideating novel approaches

• Benchmarking performance

• Focusing on market share

What is the final step in the design thinking process as outlined in the video?

• Conducting a survey

• Analyzing competitors

• Testing the solution

• Building a prototype
