A Straight-forward Design Thinking Process

Design Thinking should not be complicated. With this template, you can run an engaging process based on the Product Integration Model (PIM-Go).

There are 3 simple steps:

• Step 1 – Identify a Problem and its Root Causes (Problem Canvas): In this Ishikawa-inspired Canvas, you will identify a relevant problem and its root-causes, collaboratively classifying the causes based on influence on the problem.

• Step 2 – Brainstorm Ideas (Idea Canvas) : Then your team brainstorm ideas to solve the selected problem and the most relevant root-causes.

• Step 3 – Filter the Best Ideas (Idea Filter Canvas): Finally, the team classify the ideas in 4 quadrants and select 1+ ideas to be prototyped and validated with the users. All unused ideas can be saved for later use in the Parking Lot of Ideas Canvas.
