DevCraft day two🔥 Question to Design thinking panel: Why ask the user what they want yet they did not want cars but faster Horses? Panel (lady in yellow): Don't seek to give users what they want, find out their needs and innovate to solve them. #AndelaAtDevCraftKE #DevCraftKE

Day 2: Panel -- Should you always ask users what they want? "A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them. ~ Steve Jobs” Charles Momanyi @DevCraftKE @iHub #designthinking #DevCraftKE

You don't ask the customer what they want, you find out what their challenges are, then figure out how to solve those challenges - through ideating. #DesignThinking #DevCraftDE

"It's our job as designers to discern what users need over and above them stating what they want which will mostly be based on their current circumstances and limited to their knowledge of what is possible. " @kiruik #DevCraftKE

@DevCraftKE Design thinkers working in collaboration with software developers is critical to improving application acceptance and processes streamlining. Love the inspiration from the panel

Why are companies slow to adopt Design thinking? @wangarisharon They do not see Design thinking as an essential part of the process of building products and designing solutions. #DevCraftKE

The approach you use for one product might not work exactly the same for a different product - Charles #customercentric approaches #DevCraftKE #designthinking patterns technologies and the disconnect

"Developers need to really understand why they are doing user research so that when they build a product for the user it is applicable" -Charles, Design thinking begins by empathising with the user - @JoyKendi #devcraftke
