IDEO’s Core Design Philosophy
-
Human-CenteredFocus on people, not technology. Understand their pain points, motivations, and dreams.
-
Multidisciplinary CollaborationTeams often include designers, engineers, psychologists, anthropologists, and business strategists working together.
-
Rapid Prototyping and IterationEmbrace failure early and cheaply. Learn fast by making and testing frequently.
-
Storytelling as a ToolUse storytelling to explain ideas, create empathy, and inspire action.
IDEO’s design method is all about deep empathy, creativity, and constant testing. It’s a powerful process not only for designers, but also for business leaders, educators, and policymakers. It's used to create meaningful change from digital apps to healthcare systems to education reform.
