Design Thinking
Soft Skills and Communication
Design thinking is a human-centered problem-solving methodology popularized by IDEO and Stanford's d.school, structured around the stages of empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. It emphasizes deeply understanding user needs before jumping to solutions, and is used far beyond product design—in business strategy, education, and social innovation. Its iterative, experimental approach makes it a popular framework for tackling ambiguous or complex challenges.
