Foster Design Thinking

Apr 4

Fostering #DesignThinking is our tip # 4 for our analyst / developer colleagues who support a visionary #intrapreneur. What is design thinking? 👇

In short, design thinking looks like this:

✅ Get together in person, retreat if possible
✅ Take the time to go wide / holistic
✅ Map the “entire” conceptual data model — beyond what you are building
✅ Create personas that resonate — use AI — “that sounds like me!”
✅ Journey-map a day-in-the-life, beyond just the systems process
✅ Get people drawing, making their own mockups
✅ Make functional prototypes, drive adoption

And you can help create leap-frog innovation simply by taking the time to facilitate rich, holistic design thinking.
