                     A Guide To 
Entrepreneurial Design 
Thinking
MITID Innovation
Design thinking is a non-linear, iterative 
cognitive process. Big corporations and 
entrepreneurs utilize it to solve challenges 
and create solutions centered on human 
needs. The designer/entrepreneur/innovator 
must empathize with the user or the person 
who will utilize the product or service as part 
of the design thinking process. Going over 
this crisp guide to entrepreneurial design 
thinking can prove highly beneficial.
Design Thinking and 
Entrepreneurship
There has been an increase in 
entrepreneurial education and training 
programs throughout the higher education 
landscape over the last decade. 
Entrepreneurship is increasingly being 
recognized as a vehicle for developing 21st-
century skills such as creativity, teamwork, 
self-efficacy, critical thinking, job creation, and 
economic growth.
In parallel, there has been a surge in 
interest in human-centered design 
methodologies, tools, and processes and 
their applicability in the workplace and 
educational contexts.
Many large organizations and brands that 
are now household names sprang from 
recessions and difficult times, thanks to 
entrepreneurs who pushed through 
challenges and sought chances. For 
example, Disney, CNN, Microsoft, Burger 
King, and FedEx were all founded during 
recessions. A comparable chance to make 
a creative splash is now available.
Guide To Entrepreneurial 
Design Thinking
Read on this small guide to 
entrepreneurial design thinking to 
understand the ways that design thinking 
can be corporated into the business are 
as follows-
Set Biennial Or Quarterly 
Wicked Challenges For Your 
Company
Wicked problems are difficult to identify, 
interconnected, one-of-a-kind, and have 
uncertain effects, such as poverty, 
eradication, sustainability, healthcare, and 
education. In the corporate environment, 
consumer research, long-term strategy 
planning, and business model creation are 
some examples of such challenges.
Wicked challenges are frequently 
expressed as "how may we" queries in the 
design thinking technique to stimulate 
inventive ideas at the start of an ideation 
session. Set biennial or wicked quarterly 
challenges for your company to motivate 
stakeholders from many disciplines to join 
in and contribute to future planning.
Execute A Thorough Design 
Thinking Process
While there are many resources, the core 
five-step paradigm of empathizing, defining, 
ideating, prototyping, and testing is an 
excellent place to start. A design thinking 
process model may aid in the tracking of 
progress, the measurement of outputs, and 
the evaluation of feedback from 
entrepreneurial activity. 
Use Double Diamond Method
A double-diamond method to design thinking 
allows for both divergent and convergent 
thinking types. Divergent thinking is 
connected with creativity, inventiveness, 
curiosity, and the exploration of various 
options, whereas convergent thinking is 
concerned with putting ideas together to 
generate single, solid answers.
The most important concern is to divide the 
phases for various thinking types to avoid 
two critical inputs during the exploratory 
stages, which might stifle the creative 
process, or, conversely, too many open-
ended alternatives without a concrete 
conclusion. Divergent thinking techniques 
like empathy mapping and customer journey 
mapping are fantastic, whereas convergent 
thinking skills like concept selection, action 
planning, and prototyping are great.
Practice Physical And 
Psychological Excercise
The human-centered design framework 
emphasizes experimentation, cooperation, 
and active learning. To bring these attitudes 
to life, physical and psychological exercises 
that stimulate making, building, and team-
based interactions are essential. This might 
take the shape of anything from an online 
collaboration tool to a formal maker space 
equipped with design and technological 
tools.
These environments' activities should 
ideally be flexible, iterative, and project-
based, with a focus on developing and 
testing different solutions.
