Design Thinking is a solution-based approach to solving problems, centered on developing empathy for, and a deeper understanding of, the consumer.
Design thinking is used industry-wide by companies and universities to solve problems, generate ideas, and accelerate innovation. Using this method, we can approach problems in a more human-centric way and develop a deeper understanding of the people we create and design for.
AARP has evolved and developed its design thinking process to create a framework that’s iterative, non-linear, fluid, and fast. Through this process, we can generate stronger ideas, be more hands-on in experimentation and testing, and use failure as a tool to further develop understanding of the consumer.
