How to combine design thinking and inventive thinking for innovation?
The first of all I recomend to understand and fix your general aim.
If your aim is to create the product but all suitable solutions contradict each other then...
I recommend using the mathematical method of "differentiation in parts" - distinguish between two completely different entities in yourself: the animal primate of the homo-sapiens sapiens species and the spiritual essence of the Intelligent Man.
And adupt your actions to both separatly: Human's logic (science and technologies) use for innovative doing only and design nice, good looking interface for your own homosapiens. You product will be ready when your homo-sapiens will like the disigne and Humans logic will be sitisfied with functionality of your product.
Design Thinking first starts with identifying the trouble factor. The study further goes into doing an elaborate case study for each.
Instead of trying to solve all the issues, solving one will work better, Innovation thinking starts with narrowing the scope of approach to a focused node, which can consecutively help in solving nodes connected to tit. That can take on the process
Alwielland, Introduce the goal to your group. Ask them to figure out how to combine design thinking and inventive thinking. Tell them to meet 2 hours three times a week. And make yourself available for their problems or question.
First- you need to create a stable environment that encourages people to ask questions, wonder and make many, many mistakes (an art studio is a good example). Tell the group failure is expected. People will be confused and have no idea what this is about. A background goal is for them to eventually ask one another what this is, what you mean…and over time…come up with some ideas. Expect normal good, bad and indifferent behavior and interaction. This is an impediment. People don’t easily become creative (see #2 below) around strangers. A social event might help.
With an unstructured and open environment set up, the next step is, please, get out of the way. And stay away. No opinions that imply what you want or examples of good solutions. In addition to a free and open environment you want to set in place two other items…(1)...tell them you expect them to challenge everything. That includes you, the university and Philippine culture…(2)…If I understand the Philippine word; “bayanihan”; you should encourage people to work and help one another as much as possible. If nothing here makes sense, is not practical or sounds dumb - then do
bayanihan. After 6 weeks give them a problem to solve. Do that each succeeding week.
Last, mention design, inventive, innovation or creativity as little as possible. Most people think they’re not creative. People are used to performing and thinking within school, business and social norms. None of this is the norm.
