The ABCs of Design Thinking PlayBook: All that you need to know about Design Thinking

This 'PlayBook' describes a cycle through a design thinking process influenced by the Stanford Design School and IDEO model. It focuses on the front-end of a project: Discover new opportunities, better understand those for whom you are designing, and develop new potential concepts. Consider this as a useful A-Z mapping tool to designing your first project.This 'PlayBook' is meant to give you insights into the important steps of design thinking and to support you in your journey as you learn how to facilitate design thinking with tested methods, toolkits and ethos that FutureLab Initiative™ has adopted in their project design.It is not the ultimate-object manuscript for design thinking facilitation and it is not a cure-all for embracing ambiguity in your space. But we hope that it will help bring clarity to your expectations vs. reality.
