I took a design thinking course in college, and it was something the people in charge were pushing really hard. Tbh, I'm not sure what the big deal was. To me, without any prior "formal" (read: academic) entrepreneurship knowledge, it all felt extremely obvious. It's the basic process that pretty much everyone uses to solve some unknown problem Find a need -> define the need further -> brainstorm solutions -> pick a favorite, start building and prototyping -> test - iterate -> present final prototype - GOTO start if needed. I guess it's decent learning for people that are stuck on creating solutions for unknown problems (i.e "solution waiting for a problem to solve")

Every time "design thinking" comes up the responses around here are similar: That's it's an obvious and somewhat natural process. I think that's part of the point. It's a natural process for creative people with development experience and critical thinking skills. But those people are often not in charge of projects. Those people in charge need these concepts formalised into a process to even consider it. In my experience, many development frameworks come from developers trying to get average managers to sort their shit out.
