What mistakes they tend to make?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Businesses and designers think design thinking can be skipped by using pre-designed templates\/themes available online Design thinking deliverables are not something that can be purchased like in $20 online.\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>It takes dedicated efforts to observe subjects (business owners, end users), empathize, understand behaviors and capture inferences on what interactions can be designed for maximum positive impact for everyone.<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The whole process of designing and developing, happens with an experimental mindset \u2013 seeking validation of ideas, and working in close feedback loops with end users on what\u2019s really needed, with business owners on how needs can be fulfilled better. More than a one-time effort, this is a continuous process of growth \u2013 advancing our human collective intelligence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Businesses assume design thinking is a new \u2018process\u2019 of creating modern, cool products. Design thinking is an approach that nudges you to run your business as if it\u2019s one large social experiment, always in a state of flux and constant evolution. It\u2019s about continuously listening, learning and evolving your products\/services to create moments of high value exchange.\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>There\u2019s no plan A or plan B \u2013 it\u2019s iterative, experimental evolution with rapid prototyping &amp; regular validation of ideas and assumptions. It\u2019s a way of life, that can lead us to create a more inclusive society at large scale.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em>What I do? We\u2019re actively conducting talks and workshops, to raise awareness on this subject, encouraging businesses to integrate design thinking into everyone\u2019s role \u2013 to tap the power of everyone\u2019s creativity, common sense and empathy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Designers underestimate their ability to remain open always, to listen to what challenges their beliefs, clearly differentiate between an assumption and an observation. Tendency to be clouded by our own judgements and to try hard to prove a point \u2013 defeats the whole purpose. Disruptive ideas are often buried in casually noted observations at random moments, comments coming in informally from unexpected directions, at very unlikely moments \u2013 and reading between the lines. Staying open, becoming aware of our own blindspots is key.\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>What I do?<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;<em>Encouraging a sense of \u201caltruism\u201d &amp; listening to understand people and businesses (\u201cletting go of the urge to prove something\u201d) and maintaining an ego-free atmosphere, open culture.

How do you come up with such cross-breeding concept?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Agile and design thinking both fundamentally encourage a culture of openness and embracing change, eliminating unnecessary chaos in execution of ideas. Design thinking enables your brand to know itself &amp; its users at a uniquely profound level \u2013 guiding your business to create engaging, relevant experiences in modern ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agile enables your strategy-execution teams to move as nimbly as possible, while staying open to new possibilities every moment. Agile as a methodology customized to best unleash the potential of your team, can unlock high levels of \u201cagility\u201d [or] in neuroscientific terms, \u201cneuroplasticity\u201d in people \u2013 leading to accelerated individual and collective learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Your project\u2019s Agile practices need to ensure \u201cDesign thinking\u201d becomes the core culture of the team and all meetings bring profound clarity on the \u201cwhy\u201d behind each design decision \/ origins of change of scope.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Daily standup meetings are generally short (5-10 minutes) \u2013 these could start with new information \/ insight the team gained on user behavior (or) the business capabilities, challenging old assumptions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This could be followed by a weekly meeting summarizing scope change \/ direction change and lessons learnt. On a 10-12 weeks agile project, involving design led development, each week you pick up new information, learn to respond to it and embrace new unknowns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Agile is a great vehicle that can enable creation of great outcomes from Design thinking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/codewave.com\/services\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#006eff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CODEWAVE&#8217;S DESIGN THINKING AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION SERVICES<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"we-talked-about-benefits-misconception-and-so-many-other-things-what-about-pitfalls-do-you-see-any-pitfalls-in-design-thinking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">We talked about benefits, misconception and so many other things. What about pitfalls? Do you see any pitfalls in Design Thinking?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most common what I\u2019ve seen is \u2013 business\/product owners tend to override the decisions we jointly take as a result of our design thinking exercise, as sometimes product managers \/ marketing managers are under tremendous pressure to convince their investors \/ stakeholders on key product decisions that can affect KPIs. For example \u2013 a product feature that may be a unique differentiator, may not be a high priority from a revenue perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To give an example \u2013 a mobile app for senior citizens going on a long trip on-road is highly valuable when it indicates loo breaks and suggests pitstops. This feature may not yield revenue directly but is extremely valuable for the user. What I do? Try balancing what the user needs with what the business intends, without one overpowering the other. Ensure the products and services we design, always illustrate a healthy, mutual exchange of value, demonstrating a relationship of equals between the business &amp; the customer \u2013 through every interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"who-all-needs-to-be-part-of-this-processshould-founders-and-top-leaders-be-actively-participating-in-design-thinking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who all needs to be part of this process?Should founders and top leaders be actively participating in Design Thinking?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Design thinking has the power to question the very existence of a business and enable the business to operate from a quantum state of considering infinite possibilities, looking into the future. Therefore having founders, visionary leaders, senior directors and strategic thinkers are critical to have directional alignment throughout the project, inspiring and energizing all downstream activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I do? Every 4 weeks, we request founders to participate in a project all-hands meeting where we jointly reflect on new observations, user insights\/feedback, learnings and directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"one-tip-for-project-managers-integrating-design-thinking-into-their-agile-project-journeys\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">One tip for Project Managers integrating Design Thinking into their agile project journeys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure your project team, has an \u201corganizational design\u201d that embraces Design thinking as it\u2019s core culture. Transparency &amp; empathy become key behaviors critical to the execution of your project. It\u2019s not enough to nail the initial 1 or 2 sprints, but maintaining this ethos through months and moments of adversity, will define the overall project success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional \u201cProject management\u201d skills may fall short. Human transformational leadership \u2013 becomes an obvious need. Be prepared for shattering lows &amp; collapses on the journey, as binding everyone together to create outcomes larger than yourself, consistently becomes harder as you go. But the farther you go, greater your impact on society and transformative potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"how-do-you-build-the-right-culture-for-design-thinking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you build the right culture for design thinking?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe I\u2019ve partly answered this in my earlier answers. When my partner &amp; I founded Codewave, we just had this zeal to elevate human consciousness, through work. Foundationally, we both believed in promoting altruism, humility, empathy through work. From that state of being \u2013 we envisioned and designed an organization, that celebrates authenticity &amp; influence of individuals, as individual awakening is critical to achieve what we\u2019re asking people to do. Which is be transparent, empathetic to everyone alike. Pay attention to life, grow at every moment of opportunity, not just once a year for a pay upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everyone thrives in such environments designed to elevate humanity. We\u2019re very careful in getting onboard conscious individuals &amp; teams who understand why we\u2019re doing what we\u2019re doing and love the spirit of human transformation \u2013 inside and outside. There are also team members who initially are aligned well with our mission, later on the journey get disconnected \/ lose alignment at a fundamental level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve sometimes let go of team members and customers, who\u2019ve challenged our core values or culture, and are extremely confident that the people we\u2019re working with now are leading us in the right direction for continuous growth and innovation. While business happens as an outcome, what makes us show up everyday, is the fact that we\u2019re focused on self-transformation initiating larger transformation, and creating a more inclusive society, a more conscious race in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"\/services\/design-thinking\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#006eff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DESIGN THINKING SERVICES TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"how-can-you-scale-design-thinking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can you scale design thinking?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re trying to expand our design arm and to be able to scale\/replicate a set of design practices, is going to need tools and techniques, to simplify design thinking and ensure everyone on the team is performing activities in alignment with the practices at expected profoundness levels. What I do? I always carry printouts of empathy maps, user journey mapping tools &amp; templates when I visit users along with my team. Help my team take notes, capture behavioral details that we sometimes assume to be unimportant. We\u2019ve created a framework that takes everyone through a \u201cthought-feel-action\u201d observation journey that changes them too. Design thinking changes the observer too as much as it impacts the observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Design thinking &amp; UX habits can be easily integrated into your organization at any stage and scaled to any level \u2013 provided your organization has established sustainable, friendly agile practices, embraced by everyone alike. Traditional, rigid approaches may not work \u2013 as agility is a pre-requisite for Design thinking to influence\/create outcomes consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"how-do-you-keep-design-thinking-from-becoming-too-rigid\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you keep design thinking from becoming too rigid?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Design thinking, I believe can never become rigid on it\u2019s own \u2013 as it\u2019s only a guiding force to awaken the common sense in people, nudging people to pay attention to what users need that a business can meet, at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Design thinking encourages you to make reasonable assumptions, take informed decisions and quickly validate ideas than shooting in the dark for years, and realizing what\u2019s built is neither meeting real needs not delivering what the business is capable of offering. If people feel, that \u201cdesign thinking\u201d ended up becoming a \u201crule book\u201d, then it\u2019s probably not understood well by everyone on the team. You may need to raise the awareness levels of your team, ensure your team moves nimbly while executing ideas iteratively and learning how to design new experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"how-can-mvps-help-a-team-iterate-and-how-can-a-team-avoid-getting-mired-in-endless-feedback-loopshow-can-mvps-help-a-team-iterate-and-how-can-a-team-avoid-getting-mired-in-endless-feedback-loops\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can MVPs help a team iterate? And how can a team avoid getting mired in endless feedback loops?How can MVPs help a team iterate? And how can a team avoid getting mired in endless feedback loops?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no one right answer to this question \u2013 \u201cHow much feedback is enough feedback\u201d. Sometimes it\u2019s overwhelming to gather feedback from end users and business stakeholders \u2013 because the list can be endless. What I do? Dive deeper and bring clarity on people\u2019s needs and wants, simply ask \u2013 \u201cwhy you exist\u201d. What is a real user need, we\u2019re failing to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is a real business intent, we\u2019re failing to deliver. Deeper and more nano level the probing is and the emerging clarity is, more clearer becomes the list of things to focus on. Your team gains the ability and clarity to see what needs to be done now, with high precision and predictability. It\u2019s an act of regular introspection, alignment, clarity gaining and prioritization \u2013 that becomes a habit. Sometimes your prioritization may not yield expected outcomes, but you keep learning and improving. Maybe that\u2019s the whole point. We\u2019re here to learn and progress one step at a time, not burn out and breakdown on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-cautionary-tales-would-you-share-about-design-thinking-in-a-project-environment\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What cautionary tales would you share about design thinking in a project environment?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t suppress voices coming in from unexpected people and moments, remain open throughout the project journey. If you\u2019re unable to, step out and take a break, let others help the project thrive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t accept perspectives speaking for just one side \u2013 for user\u2019s interests or the business\u2019s interests. Encourage everyone to take the project as an opportunity to be inclusive and altruistic, to create disruptive socio-economic outcomes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t be blinded by your own biases, be empathetic while observing your subjects \u2013 but be aware of your changing emotional states possibly interfering with your design work.
