Deviation of Understanding and Enjoyment of Design Thinking in Companies and Municipalities

Case study of a company and municipal workshops aimed at understanding and introducing design thinking.

Abstract

It is reported that efforts utilizing design thinking have focused only on superficial concepts and have not fully utilized the approach for identifying potential problems. This study is aimed to consider the contents that companies and municipalities seek in design thinking from the data of post-workshop questionnaires of workshops that I have conducted for companies and municipalities, and to present concrete deviations in the understanding and enjoyment of design thinking by each of them.
