The Stanford Design Thinking Process

The Stanford Design Thinking Process is a creative, user-centered approach to solving problems. It involves five key stages: empathize (understand the user's needs), define (identify the core problem), ideate (generate a wide range of ideas), prototype (build simple versions of solutions), and test (try them out and gather feedback). This iterative process encourages learning from mistakes and refining solutions based on real user input, leading to innovative, effective, and practical outcomes. It’s widely used in design, business, and other fields to develop solutions that truly meet people's needs.
