The last month and half or so we've been studying design thinking. If you have no idea what that is, visit the ideo website for further explanation. While design thinking allows its believers to navigate through a process, agile disruption method allows people to move freely with that process. At any given moment one could jump from prototyping to idea generation then inadvertently stumble upon a launch worthy solution which needs further discovery to substantiate. Situations such as this are not uncommon; however, we felt the need to formulate their occurrence into a formula which can help people (like ourselves) find the track again.
The following are some phrases or thoughts we felt best described what this method entails:
*Attention to aesthetic, function, usability, and human experience/value given to each phase of development.
*Fast-paced, counteractive way of creative thinking/reasoning.
*Continuous morphing, building, forming strategies all leading back to centralized root of problem.
* Infinite-possibilities approach; moving in all directions to expound upon new thoughts/ideas, not just forward toward the obvious or definite.
* "Go with the flow" approach until either a solution is rendered or the path becomes compromised to point of undoubted viability/inefficiency.
* Choosing what is to be created, it is the precursor and result of the creation process and iteration selection process. Assume nothing is as it seems until it is, then dismantle it to explore the possibilities that exist within.
* To guess toward best or most simplifying explanations, which deduction can explicate and which induction can evaluate.
* Every solution creates a problem that needs solving.
Just a small sample, more thoughts to come.......
