Key takeway #1

Before taking this course I really did not have this kind of approach. Now when I have to solve different problems, I think how to apply design thinking to enhance the process of decision making and get much better results. To me, it is the major takeway.

Key takeway #2

Absolutely amazing project. I have never seen anything like this. When you encounter problems, it is really wonderful to think about related opportunities. Beyond that prototyping some possible solutions is something extraordinary. What I wish is to develop a similiar approach to everyday problems.

Key takeway #3

This course gave me a chance to see the problems of school-to-work transition around the world. In addition, I have found some really bright ideas and interesting prototypes designed to address those problems. I’ve learned a lot through these assignments and peer-to-peer interactions.

Reflection: Start Small

Going back to job in a week period I think how to apply design thinking for the program development problem. I want to get deep into the underlying problems, understand the situation at my company and what is the most important – I will do my best to define the problems correctly that will direct us to the right pool of solutions.

Build on the first ideas

After having formed the problem statement, me and my team members will brainstorm, we will think about plenty of solutions. Evaluation and selection process will follow to choose the most appropriate keys to solving the problem. We will design prototypes on some of the selected solutions. Hopefully, this process will be fruitful and successful.
