A brief breakdown of the process The process of design thinking can be described broken down into a few steps:

~~----~~

#Empathize

#Test: Learn about the prototype’s viability

#Measure progress.

~~----~~

And repeat the above cycle over. Though the above process may seem linear and chronological. Most of the time, many of the above steps will be happening at once parallely.

Understanding and Analyzing the current resources It is of utmost important to acknowledge the current existing resources on campus and bridge connections between them. From a university or college level standpoint, resources can be divided into three categories.

#Extracurricular: These are resources available outside the normal curriculum of school or university education, which are generally student driven. Clubs, workshops, hackathons, and TedX shows. These are vital as they enhance collaboration, networking and student engagement. Something like this is almost out of bounds from the general academic curriculums of colleges and universities.

For example, internships or summer fellowship programs. These resources teach skills, and often give actual experience in design thinking~~.~~#Curricular: This includes various courses that students can take as a part of their academic curriculum. These courses teach students how to have a design thinking mindset and tackle problems in society.

Design thinking is a process. So, you must engage students at each step. The action stage is what seems to be causing problems.

Measure All of the work done thus far provides little benefit without an understanding of it’s impact on our target segments; the community and the university. It is essential that feedback is collected throughout the design process and post implementation. The data collected will allow conclusions to be drawn regarding the effectiveness of your design as well as provide a raw guide to reference if a pivot in strategy becomes necessary. The key here is not to forget to utilize the design thinking methods to develop your design thinking implementation strategy; they are universal in nature and increase chances of a successful adoption of strategy.
