Overview

Designing a solution is a key aspect of any project that creates a product or other type of solution. It defines how a customer (consumer or company) interacts with our product and provides key insight into how our organization is perceived. The key to designing a solution is often the creative process, devoid of performance measures, and thus more difficult to measure.Design Thinking combines the elements of three pillars to form the DTMethod®: DTModel, DTTools and DTRules & Roles.DTRules & Roles incorporates the people centred approach and human-centred design in a structured ecosystem which helps to follow the process described by DTModel. It covers a variety of topics including teams, individuals, roles and how they interact using an active and iterative approach to apply the DTMethod.DTModel explores in depth the three phases of the design process; Exploration, Creative and Construction. This is an crucial part of the process based on an iterative theory which allows for the structured design of a solution.DTTools delves deep into the mentality of a user, to use a variety of tools to understand who they are and use this knowledge to create a series of user stories and needs which drive product and project functionality.
