@marix1 design thinking works. At least that‘s true for Enterprise Design Thinking by IBM. It introduces „The Loop“ with its phases Observe, Reflect and Make. If you skip Make then what you get is Analysis Paralysis — and no measurable results. If you do all 3 repetitively and iteratively then in my experience you see outcomes for your clients and users that are markedly better. Learn more on ibm.com/design/thinking #design #designthinking

Yes, wrong understood and wrong applied methodic approaches don't work.

I was over several years multiple times involved in design thinking driven Initiatives.

Sure, we tried to involve early the as-is process and technical situation. And for sure we put the real users to the center and involved the employees with deep kownledge about the subject.

There was a result about the "what" to do. But the link to the real "how" was missing.

MIT Technology Review · Design thinking was supposed to fix the world. Where did it go wrong?By Rebecca Ackermann

🌟 How Multisensory Architecture is Redefining Spaces 🌿🎶✨

Have you ever walked into a building and felt an instant sense of calm, energy, or connection—without knowing why? It might be the power of multisensory design at work!

Interesting article, “Multisensory Architecture: Designing Beyond the Visual”, which challenges the traditional visual-centric approach to architecture. Instead, it emphasizes designing spaces that engage touch, sound, smell, and even taste to create deeply immersive human experiences.

This got me thinking:

🔹 How can architects and designers prioritize senses like sound or texture without compromising aesthetics?

🔹 What spaces have YOU encountered that left a lasting emotional (not just visual) impression?

🔹 Could multisensory design improve accessibility for people with visual impairments?

🔹 Would you incorporate scent or tactile materials into your projects? Why/why not?

Let’s spark a conversation! 💬

Getting really creative yesterday with Stephan Schwer, Anett Schönfelder and Isabel Rueda during the prototyping phase of the Design Thinking workshop organised by the HPI d-school wonderful coaches Marc Stussak, Łukasz Łata and Clara Wieker. We had a lot of fun with creating a digital health chatbot BEEhealthy. 🐝 👩‍⚕️

Building a product is like baking a cake.

Everyone sees the frosting, your features, the checklist, the shiny bullet points.
But what makes people come back for a second slice?
It's not the frosting. It's the texture. The moistness. The way it melts on the tongue.
That's User Experience and Developer Experience. That's reliability.
You can't measure it in your metrics, but you can taste when it's wrong.
And no one wants to eat a dry cake, no matter how pretty it looks.
Be the cake master.

@telepolis „Es herrscht für alle Beteiligten enormer Zeitdruck. Zusagen wurden dem Kunden gegenüber gemacht, das Management setzt Termine.“

Obwohl ich mit #DesignThinking seit 10J arbeite, von solchen DT Prinzipien höre ich zum ersten Mal.

Dafür kann man nicht DT verantwortlich machen. Das sind lediglich schlechte #Leadership Praktiken. Die beschriebene Druck-Kultur hat mit DT nichts zu tun. Sie kommt vor sowohl in Org die DT anwenden als auch in Org die nie von DT gehört haben

After extensive testing, here’s a 3D model of a Velcro-equipped speaker casing. Designed for a design session where users can explore different placements on a wearable element. As always, modeled with FreeCAD. #3DModeling #WearableTech #SpeakerDesign #FreeCAD #ProductDesign #Prototyping #TechInnovation #IndustrialDesign #OpenSource #HardwareDesign #Engineering #DesignThinking #CAD #Makers #DIY #Acoustics #ElectronicsEnclosure #FLOSS #design #uidesign #tui #wearable

In der MIT Technology Review erschien ein kritischer Artikel zu #DesignThinking (hier online bei t3n):

„Kritik am Design Thinking kommt auch von Lilly Irani, außerordentliche Professorin an der University of California in San Diego. Sie monierte vor einigen Jahren, die Methode sei ein Auswuchs der Geschäftsinteressen und Kultur des Silicon Valleys. Das Konzept verorte westliche – und oft weiße – Designer auf einer höheren Hierarchieebene und behandele sie wie Zauberer, die Erfahrungen von Arbeitern in kapitalistische Möglichkeiten umsetzen könnten, sagt sie.“

that's how it goes ...

we did extensive testing with our senior managers across the company and they all unanimously agreed they didn't want  their employees looking away from their screens at any point

just ask the important people!

Seeing that dreadful Meta Horizon Worlds ad this morning has made this old comic suddenly jog back into view...

>Verzettelt? Warum die Strahlkraft des Design Thinking nachlässt - t3n – digital pioneers<

Angesichts multipler Krisen & Krisenverschraenkungen ist es ein wichtiger Ansatz sich Gedanken darüber zu machen, welche Art von Konzept zu einer prozessualen Lösungsentwicklung taugt

Warum das #DesignThinking in einem bestimmten Kontext innovativ erschien, aber letztlich nicht als Konzept taugt, da auf struktureller Ebene eine zu große Distanz zur Arbeitsrealitaet besteht
