Design Thinking
Design Thinking, popularized by the Stanford Hasso Plattner Institute of Design( The 'D' School), is a design and prototyping process which embodies a philosophy of user-centered design . Design thinking guides the user through a process of empathy, develeoping a deep understanding of the user's needs; problem definition, ideating possible solutions, and finally rapid protyping, feedback, and modification. A successful design team requires a wide range of knowledge and experience from various disciplines. In the context of product development, the design team should include a competent engineer and technologist.
