Design Thinking

Design Thinking has been making buzz for quite some years now. This has changed the way many product companies work. There was a time when companies came up with either creative or logical solutions but not both together.  Then came Tim Brown, CEO of ideo.com a design company who coined the process of thinking logically and creatively as Design Thinking which instantly changed the way businesses worked.
This process can be divided into 6 stages which include EMPATHIZE, DEFINE, IDEATE, PROTOTYPE, TEST and IMPLEMENT. 


Empathize
This step is the problem finding path to apply the process. The spotter must empathize with the crowd having the problem as in most of the cases it isn’t one’s own problems that is being solved. This helps in understanding the WHY’s WHAT’s HOW’s and WHERE’s of the problem. 



Define
This is where the problem statement is defined and formulated so that solutions can be found out using various other techniques. 



Ideate
Now the problem is identified, defined and a solution is to be thought of. Hence this is where a solution is proposed and ways are put forward to find the fix. At this stage it is very important not to elide the already existing solutions (if any) but rather use them to unfold a better result.



Prototype & Test
What are you waiting for? You’ve found a solution to the problem to be solved. Isn’t it time to build the solution and test it initially before making improvements, initiate production and make an impact? If your answer is YES then yeah, GO ON !!! START and Change the NOW. Here taking feedbacks and improving upon them plays a vital role


Implement
Now its time to shed some light to the world with your solution. 

This process is followed by entrepreneurs these days to build a great product and now you can also follow suit and create an impact.

What is Blue Ocean Strategy?

Blue Ocean Strategy is a marketing theory from a book published in 2004 which was written by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne, professors at INSEAD and co-directors of the INSEAD Blue Ocean Strategy Institute. Before proceeding further let us know something about Red Ocean as it is famously quoted. This is related to the ocean of already existing opportunities where competition is neck to neck to attain dominance. Red Ocean signifies a saturated market where companies try to dominate and the mistake of trying to do that reflects in their operational costs whereas Blue Ocean presents a systematic approach to making the competition irrelevant and capture their own blue oceans. Red Ocean can be considered as a place which has been filled with blood due to killing each other in order to attain dominance. Blue Ocean Strategy can be applied across sectors or businesses. It is not limited to just one business. For example, when Apple ventured into the Music Industry with its IPod, there

Technological Singularity

Have you seen the famous Indian Super Star Rajinikanth’s movie Robo. If you have seen am sure you remember the post interval scene where chitti creates thousands of other chittis. Ever wondered what if that was really possible and if the world is heading in that direction? Read through and get to know yourself…. These days there are a lot of articles about Artificial Super Intelligence and Robots. Boston Dynamics is one of the front runners in creating robots. Although why are they doing with such intensity is a discussion for another day but one thing to think about is will Robots ever match human intelligence?   People in this space say singularity is really achievable. The state when Robots’ cognitive abilities surpasses human intelligence, is called Singularity and the latest news from the tech community is that singularity is as near as 2045 which means Generation Z and the late 1990s people will be surely there to watch it happen and as well play a par
