=== Design Thinking Phases / Proceedings ===
== Design Thinking Diamond ==
  -Diamond #1 ( Problem space )
    -Empathize! ( divergence - create choices and logical alternatives )
      *Needs. 
        *Interview of "problem owners", i.e. people who know the problems of the target group & later users.
        *Interview tips:
          *Instead of asking the interviewee closed questions (answer: yes/no), ask open questions.
          *Do not pressure the interviewee to justify yourself.
          *Avoid the "why"
          *Let the interviewee get personal.
          *Encourage the interviewee to give short, concise answers.
          *Ask the interviewee to summarize long answers in one sentence.
        *Numbers, data, facts ( "ZDF - Zahlen, Daten, Fakten ).
          *"Dig Deeper".
          *Sense and empathize
          *Phenomenological absorption
        *Needs can be surprising. They are later "verbs".
        *Needs are no solutions!
      *Insights.
        *Obstacles, opponents, antagonists.
        *"Insights" are later "nouns".
    -Define! ( convergence - make choices and logical results )
  -Diamond #2 ( Solution space )
    -Ideate! ( divergence )
    -Prototype! ( convergence )
    -Test! ( convergence )
== Terms ==
  *Need ( address the problem, needs, situation ).
  *Approach ( Service, product, solution ).
  *Benefit ( Benefit of customer, of company ).
  *Competition ( USP - Unique selling proposition, alternatives, competitors ).

===== Design Principles =====
==== Jugaad, Frugal Engineering / Gandhian Engineering, KISS principle ====
  *I was told by an expert from India:
    *Jugaad is just a temporary solution, so a drawback for a permanent solution.
    *Often, a Jugaad solution is based on the misuse of a tool, or an improper use of a tool never intended to be used for that purpose.
    *Jugaad might give the user a different perspective and different dimension.. The Jugaad actor might be proud to be the first to misuse a tool for his / her perpose. He / she feels to be innovative.
    *Typical western Jugaad examples:
      *Use of spreadsheets in large companies, as temporary solution of a domain expert, in spite of all the problems to roll out, to maintain and to update spreadsheets over the whole company. Jugaad is not the roll-out or use of spreadsheet software ( Excel, OpenOffice Calc,... ), but the implementation of a single spreadsheet file by a domain experts, which provides any kind of unique and innovative application,
      *Use of cotton swabs ( [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_swab|EN.Wikedia "Cotton swab"]], most well known brand name "Q-tips" ) for cleaning the human ears. Well.. its not innovative.

=== Some Notes on Idea Management ===
  *There are 2 kinds of ideas.
    *Just the plain idea as "idea itself", without application, without suggested use in an application.
    *An idea which solves a problem. But mostly the idea creators are just customers and not managers / politicians, so they are not able to change the world, at the source of the problem ( e.g. at the company which produces the product which might be improved,.. ).
  *In most cases, the idea creator has no "problem" that his/her idea is not implemented.... especially not he/she has no benefit if the idea is exploited... and so his/her intellectual property is just stolen.
  *The real problems of companies are such specific, that an ordinary owner of an idea can't solve, ususally. 
  *Indeed, just browsing third-party ideas might help companies to solve problems. But as this browsing of ideas is adoption of ideas, this does not cause any payment duty - the reader of the third-party ideas just gets another idea, and **thats** the application idea which solves the application problem ( same applies to "benchmarking" of companies of different industries ).
  *The world is full of useful patents which are not used commercially by creating products & services....:-( and nobody cares about this :-).
