- Each of the techniques we've talked about
in this design thinking course is explained in more detail
in my UX Design techniques series.
Each course is about 30 minutes long
and breaks out the techniques step-by-step.
I also made a course in more of the people
who might be commissioning design thinking work
called Understanding Design Thinking.
You or someone in your organization
would benefit from watching that course too.
It gives more of an overview and business justification
for doing this work.
Of course, the next step for you
is probably to run your own design thinking exercise.
Have fun with it.
You don't have to be an expert in every technique
before you start.
Share the ideas with your team,
and work as a group to perform each step.
Even just getting proper insight into your customer's wants
and needs will help you create better products,
but running through the whole process
will really let you see the power of design thinking.
When I work with teams, we stepped through
the whole cycle from observation to story mapping
in one intensive week.
You might want to take longer with breaks
in between each piece, but keep the momentum up
and try to push through the whole process quickly.
Work as a collaborative team,
and I'm sure you'll be surprised with the results.
Good luck with your design thinking exercise,
I hope it helps you to build products
that your customers love.
