Beyond the Brain: Incorporating the Senses into the Design...aka "Sense-ful Design Thinking"
KEYWORDS: Design Thinking; Decision Making; Thinking Skills
Design thinking is a process for solving problems, achieving goals, and discovering new opportunities. Yet, design thinking protocols thus far have not incorporated recent advances in our understanding of the role of “senses” in decision making. By incorporating “sensing” in the design thinking process, this class exercise aims to add whole-body thinking to the discussion. It is premised on the argument that can design better decisions by tapping into our full set of senses.
