Key Framework
The 5 Phases of Design Thinking
Our program is anchored in the internationally recognised 5-phase Design Thinking framework, giving participants a clear and actionable path from challenge to solution.
1. Empathise
Understand the people you are designing for by exploring their needs, behaviours, pain points, and motivations.
2. Define
Clarify the real problem to solve by turning observations and insights into a focused problem statement.
3. Ideate
Generate a wide range of creative and relevant ideas before selecting the most promising directions.
4. Prototype
Turn ideas into simple, tangible concepts that can be shared, explored, and refined.
5. Test
Gather feedback, validate assumptions, and improve the solution through iteration.
The framework shown in your reference document presents these same five stages: Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test.
