The journey of innovation has always encompassed various methodologies, processes and tools that create a comprehensive package for bringing out the best in this journey. Organizations, particularly technology companies are looking for new ways to enhance their product’s user experience to ensure they give the best customer experience.

Design thinking refers to design-specific cognitive activities that designers apply during the process of designing. Empathy, visualization, co-creation and rapid prototyping are key workings of design thinking. Design Thinking is solving ambiguous problems that are human-centered and require deep understanding of the users or customers.

Executives are showing tremendous enthusiasm in design thinking, for the following reasons

1. Design Thinking delivers Return on Investment

2. Solves complex problems of today and creates opportunity for future growth

3. Gives a modern and fresh look to the end-to-end user experiences of products and services

4. Fosters innovation and unlocks the creative potential within the organization at all levels

Design thinking is becoming a very powerful tool because on one side we have technology choices with new platforms, new products, and new applications & on the other hand we have customers with emerging needs, market place, competition, their customer acquisition and talent acquisition.
