The term Design Thinking was first applied after a certain article written by the CEO of IDEO on a 2008 edition of the Harvard Business Review. Since then the term has been in vogue, used for a diverse range of solutions from Airbnb’s model to solar panel sales in Africa. For doing it the right way, the first step is to identify the problem before exploring a range of solutions. One needs to iterate by extensively prototyping and testing. Deployment is the last stage. Creativity needs to be applied to real-world problems. Users need to be involved at each stage. This concept of using design and creativity has worked wonders in the education field as exemplified through a case in Peru where IDEO was used to improve the learning experience at school level.  Tech giant IBM has designed a corporate training course specifically for their employees to understand these design concepts.
