ABOUT THE BOOK:

This book is not just for reading. Design Thinking is something you need to actually do. Reading about design thinking will increase your knowledge, but by doing it, you will learn what design thinking can mean for you, in your studies and your work.
In this book, we encourage you to take action: design thinking by doing.

This book unravels the thinking and working process of design thinking and offers practical tools for getting started. The author approaches design thinking in four chapters, from different perspectives: as a way of thinking, a way of working, a project approach and a toolbox.

Design thinking is a way of thinking answers the questions:
How do design thinkers approach problems and challenges?
Which six fundamental attitudes do they use and what do you need to know in order to use them?

Design thinking is a way of working answers questions such as:
What phases and milestones do the design process distinguish?
What is the difference between the more structured design process and the ‘messy’ cycle of design thinking?

Because you learn design thinking by doing, you will practice this in Design thinking is a project approach.

Finally, in the last chapter Design thinking is a tool box, the methods and tools that you use in a design project will be discussed.
