  • A total of 44 students participated in the webinar.
  • The students were familiarized with the Role of Design Thinking For Future Entrepreneurs by Dr. Arunkumar Jayakumar.
  • Entrepreneurship can benefit from the application of Design Thinking when moving through a creative process of problem solving, or when looking for new opportunities and challenges.
  • Successful entrepreneurs start with a human-centered approach to their solution, which establishes an undeniable product-market fit, the cornerstone of the venture capital world. More importantly, often when there is a misalignment of product-market fit, it is because entrepreneurs believe they have a great idea and then back into user research to validate their idea, rather than start with the research in the first place.
  • There are five key components in the design thinking process:
    Empathizing: Placing a focus on understanding the human needs involved
    Defining: Synthesizing, re-framing and defining the problem in human-centric ways
    Ideating: Creating many ideas to address the unmet needs, opportunities, or challenges
    Prototyping: Adopting a hands-on approach in bringing ideas to life
    Testing: Testing to learn if the prototype/solution addresses the unmet need, opportunity, or challenge
