The General Steps in Misfit Design Thinking
Discovery
In this stage we seek to find out what is happening, what our end users need, and determine a desired end state
Problem Definition
In this stage we list or draw what the problems are that we are trying to solve.
Without this step, you may create a great solution to the wrong problem!
Idea Generation
This is the most fun part of design thinking. Our book highlights over 40 ways to generate creative solutions.
The most used is targeted brainstorming
Testing
Selected ideas need to be prototyped and tested to see if they solve the problem we identified.
Application
When we have tested our product, service, or idea, we apply it.
This may include scaling.
Misfit Design Thinking: Energizing for Innovation and Creativity provides more details on each of these general steps, creative idea generation methods, and models for different situations.
