5.2 Design thinking
It's not quite what it sounds like--"design thinking" is a way of thinking about the world, making quick prototypes, and then refining them, with a lot of thought about the eventual user's experience.
Developing this competency involves …
- Becoming familiar with a range of creative, iterative, goal-oriented design processes for creating, testing, and refining new ideas or solutions to problems.
- Developing a personal “toolkit” of strategies for successfully creating, testing, and refining new ideas or solutions to problems.
