- Advance on conventional problem solving ## Conventional Problem Solving - Manager says **Implement this solution** - Hand you a grain of sand - Idea on a PostIt - Do this! ## Design thinking way - Hang on - Before we converge on this one solution - Let us diverge and generated as many ideas as possible to solve the problem - **DIVERGE before we CONVERGE** - There are 2 pieces in any **problem solving** endeavor - *instead of just thinking about the solution to the problem* - Problem finding - Generate possible potential problems ![prob-sol-1](img/prob-sol-1.png ) ### Make sure problem and solution overlap well - ![prob-sol-2](img/prob-sol-2.png ) - makes efforts to assess the fit - problem and solution - ![prob-sol-3](img/prob-sol-3.png ) ## References - [Stanford D School - Webinar - Design Thinking: What is it and why should I care?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeUXQ_L-35M)
