S02E08 (#318). Zoë has been researching the history of some of the creative thinking methodologies we use as designers. In this episode she takes on a journey back to the origins of brainstorming, the double diamond, and design thinking.
It turns out that the origins, and even the criticisms, of these methodologies go back further than you perhaps thought. We also discuss with Zoë the appropriation processes from one culture to another and the significance of culture more generally as part of problem solving.
“The more sophisticated problem solving is, the more it is contextual”
