The Synergistic Power between Design Thinking and ISO 56002: 2019

The design Thinking Method is a human-centered approach focused on understanding user needs and solving problems creatively. It involves an iterative process with stages like empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. This approach encourages out-of-the-box thinking and experimentation, promoting creativity and innovation.

International Standard ISO 56002 provides a structured framework for managing innovation within organizations. It offers guidelines for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an innovation management system. The standard emphasizes creating value through innovation, ensuring that innovation efforts align with organizational goals and strategies.

By integrating ISO 56002 and Design Thinking, organizations can harness the strengths of both approaches to drive effective innovation. ISO 56002 provides a systematic framework, while Design Thinking brings a human-centered, creative process. Together, they create a powerful synergy that enhances innovation efforts.

  • Enhanced Creativity and Structure: ISO 56002’s structured framework is enriched by the creative methodologies of Design Thinking, ensuring innovation processes align with user needs.
  • User-Centered Innovation: Design Thinking enhances the relevance and impact of innovations managed through ISO 56002 by focusing on user experiences.
  • Iterative Improvement: The iterative nature of Design Thinking supports continuous improvement, a core principle of ISO 56002.
  • Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Design Thinking promotes collaboration across disciplines, enhancing the collaborative culture encouraged by ISO 56002.
  • Risk Management: Prototyping and testing in Design Thinking allow for early risk identification and mitigation, aligning with ISO 56002’s focus on managing uncertainty.
