Design thinking is a collection of techniques that have been professional-ized into a consulting practice. Hence the mystique.
What I appreciate about a good design thinking session is:
- It externalises the insides of peoples heads in a way that allows other participants to share that knowledge. Individual tacit knowledge becomes shared general knowledge.
- Knowledge elicited during the session is presented in a way that makes it actionable
A design thinking session is doomed to failure if it isn't comprised of:
- Domain experts
- Decision makers
- A facilitator who actually knows what they're doing
