Design Thinking
“Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer's toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.” - Tim Brown, president and CEO at IDEO
Ideation
Ideation is the creative process of generating, developing, and communicating new ideas. Ideation comprises all stages of a thought cycle, from innovation to development, to actualization. As such, it is an essential part of the design process, both in education and practice.
