Thus, what exists today are some fundamental steps for the design of projects aligned with this creative approach. Check out what these steps are:<h3>1. Identification</h3>The beginning of Design Thinking is the complete understanding of the problem in question. The project itself can be problematic or there may be some specific weaknesses. Market research, customer meetings, interviews and benchmarking can help you recognize these opportunities for improvement.<h3>2. Ideation</h3>Knowing at what points the project can innovate, the question is now about how to do this. At this point, the project team must bring together people from different areas to enrich the brainstorming generated. The main objective is to create new ways to solve the challenges and thus, innovate.<h3>3. Prototyping/experimentation</h3>Here there is the validation of what was proposed through tests. The best idea suggested in the previous phase is put into practice and evaluated. In fact, new insights can emerge to improve the original idea.<h3>4. Implementation</h3>After the relative success of the tested idea, it&#39;s time to apply it. Let&#39;s say that the problem identified was the delay in deliveries and the solution thought was to create a schedule. This one would be available in an application for each of those involved in the project. Now is the opportunity to get all this to work! Just don&#39;t forget to define the responsible and indicators to evaluate what is being done.&quot;Okay, I understood the whole procedure. But what do I get from it?&quot; Let&#39;s get to the benefits then!<h2>Benefits of Design Thinking</h2>Compared to other design models, Design Thinking stands out as a means of filling the gaps in more traditional processes. According to Aldo Pires, Master Professor of Systems and Computing and electronic engineer: &quot;Empathy, co-creation and prototyping are specific points to capture these gaps and discover the real needs of the client, which consequently generate projects with value for them&quot;.Thus, the advantages of Design Thinking are competitive. Innovating is an arduous but essential task for market differentiation and this is where this creative approach makes all the difference.A project that makes use of it, is much more likely to have a well-aligned scope, fail and correct faster and offer much greater added value to the customer.The proposal is that the opportunities for improvement be analyzed together with the people who will be directly impacted by them, that the prototypes be built and tested even during the process and that the experiences generated in the project be as good for customers as they are for those who perform them.And now, ready to innovate?Gaining time, resources and quality, which manager won&#39;t want Design Thinking for his projects? You won&#39;t be left out of this either, won&#39;t you?After all that has been discussed here, give it a try, explore new paths, do different from the competition, implement Design Thinking in your projects and consolidate your place in the market.
