Why Design Thinking Matters in Singapore
Singapore consistently ranks as one of the most innovative countries in the world, but with recognition comes competition. The business environment here demands fresh ideas and intelligent solutions. Companies constantly navigate challenges, from rapid technological advancements to global economic uncertainty. Products and services that resonate with customers today may be obsolete tomorrow. This is where Design Thinking steps in, helping teams transform problems into opportunities.

Our “Yes, And” Method: Inspired By Theatre
Our training doesn’t just teach Design Thinking — it inspires creativity through the “Yes, And” improvisation method. This technique comes from theatre but works wonders in business. It encourages teams to respect and expand on ideas instead of rejecting them quickly.
With this approach, teams:
- Build Ideas Quickly – No one shuts down suggestions, so creativity flourishes.
- Take Risks with Confidence – Fear of failure vanishes, making space for bold solutions.
- Strengthen Teamwork – People listen, support each other, and create together.
What is Design Thinking?
Design Thinking is a problem-solving process that focuses on people’s needs. It tests conventional wisdom and forges connections between random concepts — a space where innovative ideas take shape. It uses creative methods and structured collaboration to address real-world challenges.
Design Thinking doesn’t follow a rigid, linear path. It embraces iteration — testing, refining, and adjusting until the best solution appears. It encourages empathy and is highly adaptable, making it relevant across diverse fields, from business to healthcare, education, and technology.
The Seven Stages of Design Thinking
Understand
Develop a deep understanding of a specific challenge by collecting knowledge and establishing context.
Observe
Watch users experience a challenge or interact with a potential solution to identify their needs.
Point Of View
Craft a concise problem statement that motivates creativity and drives action.
Ideate
Use divergent thinking techniques to brainstorm a critical mass of fresh ideas.
Prototype
Create rough, imperfect prototypes that evolve through experimentation.
Test
Collect valuable feedback and refine solutions based on practical insights.
Reflect
Review your experiences to gain insight, enabling future improvements.
