Design Thinking and Applied
Ideation for Assistive Technologies
Gayle Curtis
Design
Consultant |
Abstract: A design thinking approach
to new technology development gives us a place to start and a way to proceed
with problems that are tricky and ill-defined. It can help tame their
complexity and uncover innovative solutions. At the heart of this approach is
ideation, the capacity for generating ideas and entertaining alternatives.
Brainstorming is the most often practiced form of ideation activity, and in
this talk we will look at the background and techniques of brainstorming and
how to structure effective brainstorm sessions. We will also talk about the
ways brainstorming can enhance team performance and spark
innovation.
