In this episode I discuss the Double Diamond Model and how it can be utilized to improve creativity in your design process. Through divergent and convergent thinking, the Double Diamond Model allows designers to ideate, explore, define, and deliver innovative solutions to complex problems.

Usability does not ensure a valuable product. To achieve Product-Market fit, you must design a product that is highly valued by the users in your target market. Developing a product that is also usable will help solidify your Product-Market fit and increase your potential for a disruptive innovation in your market segment. To drive this point home, I lean on the expertise of Dan Olsen in his book The Lean Product Playbook.

In part 1 of this series on Design and Despair, I dive into the problem of despair being pushed in society via the news, coffee shop conversations, social media, and the media in general. Climate change, the end of democracy, gun violence, and nuclear war; just to name a few of the problems we are bombarded with daily. How can we expect to provide hope to the next generation when everything they see and read spells doom? Why would we expect this strategy to improve innovation and creativity? Both of which are needed to solve the very real problems we face today. Thank you to our sponsor Viper Outdoor Tools!
