Design Thinking—it’s not just the latest buzzword. It’s a new mindset, a new way of approaching problems. It puts people at the center of everything.
And putting people at the center of everything is at the heart of what we call the Business of Experience (BX)—creating experiences that meet customers’ frequently changing needs and enabling them to achieve their desired outcomes.
It’s the way we’re working and harnessing the power of change as we lead the world’s top companies into the New.
The guiding principle behind Design Thinking is putting users and their needs at the center of business. It’s about designing for change and creating new value.
Instead of designing a product and trying to find ways it will make people’s lives better, you start by looking at what users really want and need and work toward that goal. You look at the whole user experience from their perspective. And the more complex the project gets, the closer you need to look.
Focusing first on the experience rather than simply rushing ahead to just “solve the problem” leads to faster, more successful solutions and results.
There are five key elements of the Design Thinking process:
Right now, an experience renaissance is afoot—one that is galvanizing companies to push beyond the customer experience (CX) philosophy and organize the whole business around the delivery of exceptional experiences.
Our people are gaining invaluable experience in Design Thinking—designing for change centered around people. They’re helping clients become obsessed with their customers’ needs, and using that as their compass for everything they do.
