1 . 1 . My Three Key Learnings froM Design thinking innovation : Do n’t be afraid to fail . Failure makes you think about your ideas in a different way . It helps you to go on other paths of exploring . Empathy . I got a real understanding about how using empathy can aid in solving problems . Using empathy when interviewing someone made me focus in on the small aspects of solving things by talking to people and listening to what they had to say . Ideate . I learned how to brainstorm in a better and more fruitful way . Thinking about coming up with ideas from different vantage points was a real insight . Often , I rely on ideas that are the most obvious , but my prototype ideas came from thinking like a 5 - year old . 

 3 . reflection on how To apply Design Thinking To My workplace : I work in a creative services office composed of designers , writers , photographers , and videographers . While we do practice brainstorming , Design Thinking gave me insights on how to make those sessions more fruitful . We did have a brainstorm meeting during my second week of taking this class . I made everyone stand up and use post - it notes to help us with our ideas . And it worked ! Standing provides a more interactive environment than sitting and posting ideas to a white board encouraged further interactivity among the team . Design Thinking made me want to share the ideas I learned in the course and how I could apply it to improve our problem - solving processes . While we do already think of creative solutions for problems , the techniques of finding empathy , creating a problem statement , forming ideas , and then making prototypes , will help my team to come up with better solutions . Here is my list of Ideas : • Share my learnings with colleagues . • Give a talk during a staff meeting about each of the steps in Design Thinking . • Interview readers of the publications that I work on as a designer to find out what they like and what they do n’t like . • Sketch more to make prototypes . • Give out candy rewards whenever colleagues use these techniques to solve problems . • Make a prototype area with simple to tools like the d. School has . Here are my 3 ideas that I would further prototype and test : • Share my learnings with colleagues . At the end of our weekly production meeting , I could go over one of each area that I learned about . • Make a list or write a summary of how to make brainstorming meetings more productive and share it with the entire Marketing Division in one of our monthly meetings . • Make a prototype area that has tools for ideating . Include things like colored post - it notes , colored pencils and markers , different papers , pipe cleaners , magazines , etc . Taking this course has led me to think more broadly about how I solve problems as a designer . I always have many ideas to solve something , but having that empathy for my stakeholder , or who my audience is for a particular project will help me to come up with better ideas that are more relevant . Making a prototype and testing it will further help me with solving design challenges .
