Design Thinking for Solution
The axiom says: “The main thing is to keep the ‘Main Thing’ as the main thing.” It is up to the designer to decide what is the ‘Main Thing’ when she / he designs a solution for an identified problem of target stakeholders at the users’ space. The more axiomatic point is the legacies that have brought humanity up to Industry 3.5, will not help to reach the pinnacle of Industry 4.0. It will be useful to first have a simple understanding about it “Design thinking is an iterative process in which one seeks 10 understand the user, challenge, assumptions, and redefine problems in an attempt to identify alternative strategies and solutions that might not be instantly apparent with our individual level of understanding… provides a solution-based approach to solving problems. It is d way of thinking and working as well as a collection of hands on methods. Five steps for this are empathise, define, ideate, prototype and test.
Predictive analysts lead us to think that while it took about ten decades to transit from one industrial revolution to the next, reaching Industry 5.0 may not event take two decades. In that era the solutions will have to be such flexible that users will be enabled to get their specific and respective requirements done through the provided solution. This would avoid people being dictated by the app like at present. One needs to keep in mind that ‘Generation Z’ does not like to follow any command and thus imagine what the next ‘Generation A’ would be?. The solution designer must have to be steps ahead of his / her creative best. Strong conviction of the present author is that the ultimate directional guidance for design thinking will come from the imperatives for upholding the esteem values of humanity.
