The great potentials of design thinking in our new world

In another world, on other platforms, I would usually not need to do this, but on steem, I have found, it is quite necessary, because we have a lot of wonderful, smart and creative content creators who add value to their followers here, I would definitely like to be one of them.

So, who am I? And how can I add value to you? I am, a design thinker, the easiest way to describe this, is to say I love identifying issues, analyzing the root of these issues and coming up with a solution to the problems, the solutions I come up with, could be a product,a service, a software solution, a process change , some civil work or a combination of these, the end point is the most important thing, I personally hold a belief that everything, is a product of design,everything, I know many who would agree with this and many who would say "does he even know what he is talking about"?

If you are like me, and you see solutions , when everyone else sees problems, you see opportunities, when everyone else see roadblocks, you see beauty, when everyone else sees a garbage dump, we can best of friends and tight buddies, in my life and in my line of work, I have done so many different things, some of these things are so far way fo m each other you would wonder how I was able to pull it through, for example, how close is the scope of work between a design architect and a software support engineer working sql scripts to support customers? Not so close you would say, right? What is the relationship between a guy that manages the facilities in a building and another managing software based payment solutions for a bank? Most people would not be able to mix and match these responsibilities but a design minded person, when confronted with issues that involve these different types of people, can come up with a solution that brings them all together.

Design, is creation, it is life, learning and being educated in design, helps the student become better able to adapt to different environments, lifestyles, conditions, points of view, culture and languages, you may disagree, but in my experience, that is what I have discovered, because the process of design requires such an Open minded approach.

In my next few posts, I would be talking a lot, on how design thinking has been used to solve various issues, and how it has been used to impact lives positively, I do hope I am not breaking any rules on stem with this post, see you on the next post, have a great weekend
