The Stanford Model, developed by Stanford University, is a five-step process for Design Thinking. It's often depicted as five connected hexagons, each representing a phase of the process.

- Empathize: Understand the user and their context thoroughly.
- Define: Clearly articulate the user's needs identified during the Empathize stage.
- Ideation: Generate numerous ideas to address the defined needs, using creativity-stimulating methods.
- Prototype: Develop prototypes of selected ideas.
- Test: Test prototypes to assess their viability quickly and inexpensively.

The process is iterative, allowing for revisiting any step as needed.

Have you ever wondered how to solve complex problems in a structured and efficient way? 🤔
✨ Discover the Double Diamond model, one of the most popular Design Thinking (DT) models. It describes DT as alternating cycles of divergent thinking (expanding, researching, and exploring) and convergent thinking (narrowing and analysing). ⤵

Discover the Double Diamond model of Design Thinking:

- Alternating cycles of divergence (exploration) and convergence (analysis).
- Progression through Problem and Solution stages:

1. Broadening perspectives and identifying key issues.
2. Analyzing data and selecting vital information.
3. Generating diverse ideas to address problems.
4. Prototyping and testing to refine selected ideas.

This model offers a structured approach to problem-solving, ensuring thorough exploration and effective solution development.

From the perspective of using different tools, the key is their value in influencing the effectiveness of the organisation.
🌟 WHAT IS THE VALUE OF DESIGN THINKING?
To answer this question, it is particularly useful to look at two studies that have analysed the impact of Design Thinking processes on revenue and on the cost and duration of projects.

➡ In McKinsey & Company was created the McKinsey Design Index (MDI) which refers to practices related to Design used in an organisation. Higher MDI translates into higher level of using practices associated with Design Thinking. On the basis of collected information it is possible to see a correlation between Design practices and income of an organisation. These companies which have high level of the McKinsey Design Index within 5 years achieved approximately 10% higher average income than companies which do not use the Design practices (approx. 3-6%). The studies were conducted on the basis of the data acquired from MDI (McKinsey Design Index), S&P 500 (market index that comprises of 500 companies with the highest capitalisation quoted on New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.

➡ IBM commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study and examine the potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by engaging IBM’s Design Thinking practice. The purpose of this study is to provide readers with a framework to evaluate design thinking’s potential financial impact for both individual projects and a grander organizational transformation. To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with this investment, Forrester interviewed four of IBM’s Design Thinking clients and surveyed an additional 60 executives who have employed design thinking at their organizations, some with and some without IBM. These organizations turned to design thinking to address a variety of challenges
Findings:
✔ Organizations slashed the time required for initial design and alignment by 75%.
✔ Project teams leveraged better designs and user understanding to reduce development and testing time by at 33%.
✔ Design Thinking practice helped projects cut design defects in half. Projects were more successful in meeting user needs, thereby reducing design defects and subsequent rework.
✔ Faster time-to-market enabled increased profits from netnew customers and the higher present value of expected profits.
✔ Improved collaboration and business strategy drove increased customer experience and sales, streamlined processes, and reduced project labor.

Today we are taking our DTMethod® methodology outside the training room to meet an inspiring community focused on project management! 💙🔝

As part of the PAM Summit conference in Krakow, we are leading creative workshops entitled ➡ “Design Thinking Lab – key process tools.” ⬅

It is an exceptional opportunity for a deep dive into the Design Thinking world and learn the key elements of our methodology direct from its creators, Rafał Czarny and Michał Eromin! ☺️ 🧑‍💻

We can hardly wait to share our knowledge and experience with the participants. We believe that the workshops will be a true inspiration, which will stimulate their creativity and incentivize them to use Design Thinking in their everyday project responsibilities.

Get ready for a fascinating trip into the world of DTMethod! 📢

🔹🔹
Double Diamond is the name of a design process model popularized by the British Design Council. This is a universal and widely accepted model that is now 20 years old!🎉🎉

The Double Diamond presents the thought process designers should go through when designing solutions. 💡

Using this model, designers focus first on the challenge or problem area (gathering as much knowledge as possible about the problem itself, context, and environment) and then on the solution area (generating as many ideas as possible to address the chosen problem and then analysing those ideas, prototyping, and testing).

This approach protects those involved in finding solutions from "skip to the solution" syndrome, or too sudden search for solutions, to which people tend to have a tendency. Following the Double Diamond model protects us, among other things, from making bad decisions. ☺️

May this Easter holiday be full of ideas, imagination and creativity! 💙

DTMethod® has the power to change the world for the better!

☑️ In the process of creating DTMethod it was important for us to measure its effectiveness. Why? Because everyone deserves to utilize verified tools, not cliches based on strong convictions.
☑️ It wasn’t easy, but thanks to the engagement of the following people: Rafał Czarny from Inprogress Design Lab, Dr Karolina Dukała from Uniwersytet SWPS and Dr Joanna Pyrkosz Pacyna from Akademia Górniczo-Hutnicza w Krakowie after 2 years of work, designing and leading research, and writing, we published an article showing the effectiveness of the design thinking process with the application of DTMethod!
💙Thank you to everyone involved in the process of research, testing and consulting!
