Innovation Applied Learning Challenge - G7

Rimpy and Andin are tasked with developing a new app during a school project. What is the fundamental objective of employing design thinking methodologies in the innovation process?

• To ensure unanimous agreement among team members on every design decision.

• To significantly reduce costs by minimizing the number of design iterations.

• To establish a consistent design style across all product lines.

• To drive innovation by emphasizing user-centered problem-solving approaches.

Raspreet and Jamal are working on a project that requires a ____-centered approach to innovation.

Reorder the following steps in the Design Thinking Process.

• Test

• Prototype

• Ideate

• Define

• Empathize

Abraham and Lawal are working on a project in design thinking. In the iterative process of design thinking, which phase is would they use for refining concepts through tangible models or experimental trials?

• implement

• test

• prototype

• ideate

In the context of business model innovation, organizations must first conduct thorough environmental scanning to identify market trends and emerging needs. This analysis sets the stage for divergent thinking during the ​ ​​ (a)   phase, where a broad array of creative solutions is generated. After ideation, the team transitions to a convergent approach for ​ (b)   , selecting the most viable concepts to develop further. Finally, prototyping allows for iterative testing and refinement, helping to engage stakeholders effectively and secure insights through human-centered design principles. Successful prototyping not only validates assumptions but also fosters ​​ (c)   by demonstrating potential value to both users and stakeholders.
