Understanding Design Thinking

"What is Design Thinking" explores an innovative approach to problem-solving known as design thinking. In traditional problem-solving, we often assume we understand the root cause, develop solutions, and jump straight into implementation. However, when these efforts fail, it leads to wasted time, money, and resources. Design thinking helps avoid these pitfalls by focusing on understanding the problem more deeply before acting.
