What is design thinking?
Design thinking is the practice of creating and exploring alternative options. It is a
brilliant idea due to sparking a unifying language for multicultural disciplines. It
combines good ergonomics, the context for the work, and respect for the original
culture. The result creates an understanding comprised of direct observation and
qualitative thinking to create stories that others may empathize with when reading.
Design thinking follows a constantly repeated formula of Ideating, prototypes, and
testing.
How has design thinking influenced a product I use?
Many products I use take time and patience to make. The art/ science of Design thinking
can apply to anything. One such product I own, which I believe is influenced by design
thinking, is my recently purchased (at the time of typing this) May flash USB. This device
allows anyone to use any video game controller on different consoles that are not
associated with the original controller. For example, I can use my PlayStation controller
on my Nintendo Switch or my Xbox one controller on my PS4.
What are the connections between opportunities and planning?
Opportunities are chances that provide positive benefits for a person seeking them.
They can come by quickly and go by without knowing it passes. Taking full advantage of
opportunities requires proper planning. Planning for opportunities can add to the
possible success of landing an opportunity.
What opportunities have I missed?
I have missed many opportunities in my life, sadly. There are times when I have planned
out certain things. However, I have missed capitalizing on those opportunities due to
complacency and getting distracted by other things. That is one of the many faults I
must fix to succeed.
Can a successful venture be unethical?
A successful work venture can be seen as unethical if it does not present a positive
effect. Most innovators will have a meaningful reason for creating, testing, and making
their ideas a reality. However, some completed ventures will not provide any usefulness
to the community/ nation leading to many questions about their ethicality.
