Benefits and Application in Education
Design Thinking can help us better understand the unmet needs of the people (customers, clients, students, users, etc.), reduce the risk associated with launching new ideas, products, and services. Generate solutions that are revolutionary, not just incremental. The education sector can make the best use of design thinking by taking feedback from students on their requirements, goals, and challenges they are facing in the classroom. By working on their feedback, the instructors can come up with solutions to address their challenges.
