Insightiful: Opening Up Research Through Design Thinking
Insightiful is founded on the philosophy of design thinking, with a deep understanding of users at its core. Through this, we discover user-centered insights and translate them into actionable solutions.
Why is Design Thinking Important?
The core of design thinking begins with empathy and understanding of people. This perfectly aligns with Insightiful’s philosophy of ‘insight-centered research’.
- Understanding Problems Through Empathy: We carefully observe and deeply empathize with users’ experiences, emotions, and behaviors. Through this process, we can grasp the essence of problems and discover true insights.
- Focusing on ‘Why’ Beyond ‘What’: We don’t simply describe phenomena, but explore the reasons behind them. This enables deeper thinking about the “why” beyond the superficial “what”.
- Uncovering Hidden Needs: We don’t just collect and analyze data, but strive to understand the true needs and desires hidden behind it.
This approach leads to the development of innovative solutions that can practically improve users’ lives, beyond mere data collection.
Expanding Design Thinking: To Business, Organizational Culture, and Social Innovation
The influence of design thinking is expanding beyond the design field to various areas.
- Business Innovation: When considering new business models, design thinking makes us focus on customers’ latent needs. This becomes the driving force for creating innovative products or services that don’t exist in the current market.
- Improving Organizational Culture: When innovating organizational culture, we start by listening to the experiences and emotions of individual members. Through this, we can set the direction of change that members truly want.
- Solving Social Problems: The design thinking approach is also useful when seeking solutions to social problems. Considering the complexity of social issues and the existence of various stakeholders, it’s difficult to expect sustainable solutions without a deep understanding of the problem. Design thinking prompts us to explore the root causes of problems and seek creative solutions based on this.
