The D.A.R.L.I.N.G Method

I have developed what I think is a very useful design thinking step, 'The DARLING Method'. Inspired by the quote "To Kill Your Darlings" (William Faulkner) and adapted from the SCAMPER Tool (Faickney 1953 & Eberle 1971), the #darlingmethod helps you and/or your team to delve deeper into your chosen concept (your 'Darling') before embarking on the #prototype stage.
