A presentation I gave on design thinking for technology, business, and entrepreneurship students at NYU.
These slides were accompanied by a lot of group participation, Q&A, and a design challenge, so some slides may feel a little sparse.
These slides are adapted from a design thinking presentation co-authored with Melanie Kahl in 2011. Thanks for viewing!

Discussion
8. Amtrak, the U.S. passenger rail corporation, was preparing
to launch its Acela high-speed train service along the
Boston-to-Washington metropolitan corridor. It asked
IDEO to design the interior of its Acela rail coaches.
Amtrak wanted a railcar that was more attractive and
functional than the interior of the passenger airliners that
were Amtrak's primary competition.
Your turn: if you were IDEO, how would you help
Amtrak?

IN MOST PEOPLE’S VOCABULARIES,
DESIGN MEANS VENEER. IT’S INTERIOR
DECORATING. IT’S THE FABRIC OF
THE CURTAINS AND THE SOFA. BUT TO
ME, NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM
THE MEANING OF DESIGN. DESIGN IS THE
FUNDAMENTAL SOUL OF A MAN-MADE
CREATION THAT ENDS UP EXPRESSING
ITSELF IN SUCCESSIVE OUTER LAYERS OF
THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE.
–Steve Jobs, CNNMoney/Fortune, January 24, 2000
18. “” IN HOLLAND, WE HAVE TWO WORDS FOR
DESIGN.
Vormgeving is more to make things look nice. So
for instance, packaging for a perfume or for
chocolate in order to make things fashionable...
While ontwerpe means, and the Anglo-Saxon
word, but its stronger, means engineering.
THAT MEANS YOU AS A PERSON TRY TO
INVENT A NEW THING—WHICH IS
INTELLIGENT, WHICH IS CLEVER, AND
WHICH WILL HAVE A LONG-LIFE. AND
THAT’S CALLED STYLISTIC DURABILITY. IT
MEANS YOU CAN USE IT FOR A LONG
TIME.
-Gert Dumbar

DESIGN THINKING REFERS TO THE
METHODS AND PROCESSES FOR
INVESTIGATING ILL-DEFINED PROBLEMS,
ACQUIRING INFORMATION, ANALYZING
KNOWLEDGE, AND POSITING SOLUTIONS
IN THE DESIGN AND PLANNING FIELDS.
AS A STYLE OF THINKING, IT IS
GENERALLY CONSIDERED THE ABILITY
TO COMBINE IN A HOLISTIC MANNER:
EMPATHY FOR THE CONTEXT OF A
PROBLEM, CREATIVITY IN THE
GENERATION OF INSIGHTS AND
SOLUTIONS, AND RATIONALITY TO
ANALYZE AND FIT SOLUTIONS TO THE
CONTEXT.

site surgery, harm to patient,
and malpractice suits.
52. Design Challenge:
Develop a verification system to
double-check technologist’s
input and ensure L/R image
labeling is accurate on all CT
scans.
Stakeholders:
Chief Radiologist (MD), Chair of Patient Safety Committee
CT Scan Technologist (operator)
Chief Radiology Scientist (Ph.D)
Nurses with deep knowledge of patients’ needs
53. The solutions that emerge from Human-
Centered Design should hit the overlap
of these three lenses: they need to be
Desirable, Feasible, and Viable.
What do people desire?
54. Customer Needs:
1. Be highly reliable
2. Take little time
3. Be unobtrusive to patient
4. Implement in current system
5. Minimize radiation exposure
6. Minimize image streaking
Technical Concerns:
• Material (metals create streaks in images)
• Easy implementation
• Time added to procedure
• Radiation exposure
• Few Components
• Fatigue lifetime
55. Proposed Solution
1. Use headrest and footrest inserts to identify orientation
2. Implement radio frequency identification (RFID) chips (low metal content)
3. RFID receiver sends signal to compare with control room tech’s input
4. CT scan halted until signals match
5. CT process commences only when signals match
Insert appropriate headrest or RFID receiver detects insert and
footrest based on patient orientation sends double check information to
computer
56. Here’s the point:
Through discovery and design, it’s possible to find a
human-centered, low-cost, low-tech solution.
Technical knowledge is a critical part of the toolkit,
but it’s not the solution in and of itself.
Strive to frame every challenge in terms of human
needs, and combine technology and business
methods to create a holistic solution.
