Method

The Double Diamond is a structured design approach to tackle challenges in the following phases:

1.Connect — Opportunity starts here (client meeting)
2.Explore/Research — Insight into the problem (diverging)
3.Define/Synthesis — The area to focus upon (converging)
4.Develop/ Ideation — Potential solutions (diverging)
5.Deliver /Implementation — Solutions that work (converging)
6.Evolve — Monitoring the product on the market (opportunity for new products and enhancements)
