Summary:
Design Thinking improves our experiences with technology and is quickly becoming the go-to system for generating ideas. At its most basic, Design Thinking is a continuous conversation with users to iterate on the improvement of your product or system. When done well, this process will produce many ideas--but how do you know how to develop these ideas? Where do these fit within the objectives of your product? One option is to consider the three pillars of what I call the Creative Spectrum, which encompasses Engineering, Design, and Art. Locating your problems within the Creative Spectrum allows you to harness the most useful aspects of each discipline on the spectrum. Do you need a solution that is logical and repeatable or one that is unique and experiential? By understanding the how new ideas work in relation to the objectives of your project, the Creative Spectrum gives you a fresh tool to focus your Design Thinking process.
