Design Thinking – How to generate ideas?

In short, this post talks about – The guidelines and tips to generate ideas/solutions with the backdrop of emergent /evolutionary approach? 
  1. Adapt by choosing local rewards and decisions that encourages near term benefits over long term goals.
  2. Brain storming with generative attribute results in plethora of ideas – choosing the best by 1st point
  3. Mix and matching arbitrarily various concepts results in combinatory space of solutions, which when weighed and aligned against business viability and technical feasibility-results in products.
  4. Every new concept or variable thrown at fore, explosively generates solution space.
  5. Emergent design is bounded by the variables that describe the problem. Any upfront design cannot sustain and capture the changes that come henceforth; rather, emergent design elegantly handles the unknowns as the system evolves.
  6. An amalgamation of emotional bias with analytic combinatorial approach can result in terrific products.
  7. Obscure problems cannot be tackled head-on, but rather, need to be tackled as the problem evolve.
