DESCRIPTION
The Design Thinking Poster describes the five phases of creative problem-solving and innovation based on the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (Stanford University) model.
The poster focuses on three key groups of information that are essential to Design Thinking practitioners:
• Phase objectives
• Phase activities
• Phase deliverables
Overall, the Design Thinking Poster is a useful tool for design thinking users who are looking for an easy-to-use reference guide to help them navigate through the five phases of the creative problem-solving and innovation process.
The Design Thinking Poster is available in two distinct themes: a vibrant color scheme and a professional monochrome version. In both formats, the poster comes in a convenient PDF as well as an editable PPTX format, enabling effortless printing on A3/A4-sized paper from standard office copier machines. This versatile resource can be prominently displayed on employee workstations or distributed alongside Design Thinking training materials.
Furthermore, the Design Thinking Poster is an ideal supplement to design-related training presentations. It serves as a valuable takeaway, summarizing the core principles of Design Thinking and reinforcing the key takeaways from your training.
