METHODOLOGIES
Lean
This methodology emphasizes building a startup or a new venture efficiently by developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to test the market with the least resources. It encourages learning from the feedback, iterating the product, and pivoting when necessary. By focusing on validated learning and iterative design, it ensures that resources are utilized efficiently and that the startup is continually moving in the right direction.
Design Thinking
Design Thinking is an innovative problem-solving process rooted in a set of skills. It follows a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer's toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success. By going through stages like empathizing, defining, ideating, prototyping, and testing, it helps in understanding users, challenging assumptions, and redefining problems to identify alternative strategies and solutions that might not be instantly apparent.
Human-Centric Design
Human-centric Design is about understanding and solving problems from the human perspective. It involves engaging with and designing solutions around the people who will use the product or service. By involving the human perspective in all steps of the problem-solving process, HCD helps uncover deep insights about the community which can lead to more impactful, appropriate, and sustainable solutions.
