Key Steps in Effective Design Thinking Implementation PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 28-slide Design Thinking Primer PowerPoint presentation, outlines 4 critical steps in the Design Thinking Approach, emphasizing the importance of sustained mechanisms for continuity and support.

The first point, "Manage a portfolio of all sized projects," suggests that organizations should handle a diverse range of projects, from short-term incremental innovations to long-term revolutionary initiatives. It stresses the need for business units to take ownership and funding responsibility for incremental innovations while encouraging top-down support for more radical innovations.

Next, the "Budget to the pace of Innovation" section highlights the necessity of flexible budgeting practices. It advises against cumbersome budgeting processes that can stifle innovation and encourages organizations to adapt their funding strategies as projects evolve. This approach allows teams to seize opportunities as they arise without being constrained by rigid financial frameworks.

The third point, "Hire talent from interdisciplinary and Design Programs," focuses on the recruitment of individuals with diverse design backgrounds. It suggests that these hires can exceed expectations in pushing innovative solutions. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of training non-designers to develop the necessary skills and attributes for effective participation in design thinking roles.

Finally, "Design for the Design Cycle" advocates for structuring assignments that enable design thinkers to engage fully in the innovation process, from ideation to implementation. This holistic approach allows team members to gain a comprehensive understanding of the design cycle, ultimately enhancing their judgment and effectiveness.

Overall, these steps provide a framework for organizations to foster a culture of innovation through strategic project management, flexible budgeting, diverse talent acquisition, and comprehensive engagement in the design process.
