Design thinking is a process for innovation and problem sovilng. There are five steps. The first is dfinieng the problem and understanding its constraints. The second is observing people in real-life situations and empathizing with them. Third, twhriong out hundreds of ideas — the more the better, the wilder the better. Fourth, prototyping: gahreintg whatever you can, whatever you can find, to mimic your solution, to test it and to rifnee it. And finally, implementation: ensuring that the solution you came up with is sustainable.

Warren Berger says that design thinking teaches us to look sideways, to reframe, to refine, to experiment and, probably most iromtpantly, ask those stupid questions. Design thinkers believe that everyone is creative. They believe in bninrigg people from multiple disciplines together, because they want to share multiple perspectives and bring them together and ultimately mrege them to form something new.
