Empathy - Start with Love!

Begin by understanding deeply. Empathy, the heart of innovation, starts with love—the love to truly comprehend the needs, desires, and challenges of those you design for.

It's the cornerstone of Design Thinking, creating a foundation of understanding that transcends assumptions and fuels a genuine connection with your audience.

Define - The Right Problem!

Synchronizing the Design Thinking team is key to collaboration. In the Define stage, we carefully distill insights from empathy, ensuring clarity in problem definition.

Defining the right problem sets the stage for effective problem-solving, guiding us to tackle meaningful challenges when we unleash our creativity!

 
Dr. Malte Krohn in the ideation Design Thinking phase

Ideate - Get Courageous!

Let’s step into the realm of wild ideas! Ideation is about liberating your mind and pushing boundaries. It's a call to get courageous and explore unconventional ideas and divergent paths.

In this stage, we encourage wild thinking, knowing that innovation often thrives on the edges of comfort. Ideate fearlessly to uncover solutions that break through the ordinary.

 
Prototyping in the design thinking prototype phase

Prototype - Explore the Solution Space!

Bringing ideas to life, prototyping is the bridge between imagination and reality. It's the phase where concepts and assumptions take tangible form, allowing exploration of the solution space.

Prototypes serve as tangible experiments, enabling us to refine and experience ideas. By embracing prototyping, we turn assumptions into testable hypotheses!

 
Testing digital prototypes in the design thinking test phase

Test - Embrace Feedback and Learning!

In innovation, iteration is a natural part of the process. Let’s embrace feedback and learning as we put our prototypes to real-world testing.

Testing is about refining and iterating based on human-centered insights. It's a continuous loop of improvement, ensuring that the final solution is precisely tailored to meet the user’s needs!
