Journey to Success
1. Empathise
The first stage of the Design Thinking process is to gain an empathic understanding of the problem you are trying to solve.
2. Define (the Problem)
During the Define stage, you put together the information you have created and gathered during the Empathise stage.
3. Ideate
During the third stage of the Design Thinking process, designers are ready to start generating ideas.
4. Prototype
This is an experimental phase, and the aim is to identify the best possible solution for each of the problems identified during the first three stages.
5. Test
Designers or evaluators rigorously test the complete product using the best solutions identified during the prototyping phase.
