WHAT IS DESIGN THINKING?

Design Thinking is a design process that encourages innovative problem solving through critical and creative thinking. This process enables innovators to empathise with users and understand their needs. This enables innovators to define problems clearly, ideate solutions, and create prototypes to be tested. 

Design Thinking is an iterative approach to develop novel and out-of-the-box solutions when innovators challenge assumptions and consider different perspectives. There are 5 stages of design thinking: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test.
