design thinking for 21st Century Business

Design thinking for 21st Century Business

video stills from a video presentation

by Nils Vesknilsvesk.com

business used to be only in 2D

but every business is multi dimensional

even when looking at profit & loss and balance sheets

and cash flow

it makes sense to see your business in 3D

design thinking is not new to

designers but it is to business

to start ‘design thinking’ on your businessstart by defining your business

what do you really do?

what do your clients need?

create a map of your business touch points

then put in some research

ask good questions, watch, learn & really listen

what’s happened in the past?

what’s your prediction for the future?

what can you discover?

now it’s time for some big ideas - go for quantity

what ideas do these words help you generate?

could you apply to a touch point?

continue to think from a new space & direction

break all the rules and then some

an idea starts to come to life when you prototype it

no need to be precious - it’s a crash test

what will make it almost real without breaking the bank?

make it appeal to all kinds of learners

now it’s easier to select the best idea to develop

what are the pros and cons?

how and where could it be used?

what do other people think of it?

now it’s time to make it happen

start with a plan

what will it cost & who will do the work?

remember to sell it to market

what a ride

remember where you came from

what worked & what didn’t?

what will you differently?

design thinking helps you get the most out of your business

I hope you enjoyed the show!The video is even better, but not even as good as

seeing me talk in person.
