“Design thinking is 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.”

IDEO’s 7 Rules for Brainstorming
1. Defer judgment
2. Encourage wild ideas
3. Build on the ideas of others
4. Stay focused on your topic
5. Be visual
6. One conversation at a time
7. Go for quantity

Design Thinking Process to Reframe a Problem
How might we…
Why do we want to do that?
What is stopping us from doing that?
Revise: How might we...?
Has our concept of the problem changed?
Tools We Use
• Fly on the Wall Observation
• Contextual Inquiry
• One-On-One Interview
• Expert Interview
• Group Interview/Focus Groups
• 5 Why (Root Cause/Fishbone or Ishikawa Diagram)
• Design Charrettes
• Service Blueprinting
Design Charrettes
Design Charrette
Current State:
1. Rapid (individual) brainstorm on Post It notes – “Why is [process] so complex? Where
are the pain points? What is it preventing us from making it easier?” (5 min.)
2. Synthesis: Combine all members’ Post It notes and organize into groups, you can add
new ones as you go, remove duplicates (5 min.)
3. One person from each group reports out to whole room/group discussion (20 min.)
Future state:
1. Respond to the problems you've identified. Describe, on index cards, how the
experience could be different! Use “How Might We…” (10 min.)
2. Together, create a storyboard that describes the experience of initiating and completing
a [process]. Start with the user experience and move to the completion of the business
process. You can use specific technology references if it helps.

User Stories
• 3C’s
• How they were used
• Show our user stories
• See how easy it is to get started…
Development Process
• Agile cross adapted DAD
• Sprints and spikes
• Card wall
• Gantt chart as a communication vehicle
Enterprise Architecture: a New Paradigm for
Tufts University
• FROM point-to-point system connections – expensive, difficult to
maintain, constraining
• TO scalable and adaptable cloud-based integration:
• Data flow across multiple systems including legacy on premise and cloud SaaS
(today).
• Consistent data and business rules throughout the university (future).
Search
“Search is the user's lifeline for mastering complex websites”
- Jakob Nielson1
• Give the user the ability to “control their own destiny.”
• Give the user an “escape hatch” in case they get stuck.
