Stanford Design Thinking Model: Analogical Thinking & Challenging Assumptions

Welcome to the course titled "Stanford Design Thinking Model: Analogical Thinking & Challenging Assumptions".  This course discusses the concept of Analogical Thinking, which involves finding similarities between seemingly unrelated things and applying best practices from one domain to another. It provides examples such as Flipkart's adoption of the "Cash on Delivery" model inspired by India Post's "Via Post Parcel" system, and the innovative "Bottle Bulb" lighting solution popularized by Illac Diaz's NGO, MyShelter Foundation. The course also explores other creative thinking techniques like Challenging Assumptions and SCAMPER (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse) to generate innovative ideas and solutions.
