What this video covers
Design thinking is a human-centred way to tackle messy problems: understand real people, sharply define their problem, generate lots of ideas, build rough prototypes and test them - looping back as you learn. The point is to start from the human, not the solution.
You walked the five stages and saw the arrows run backwards as often as forwards. That is the whole idea: design thinking is not a tidy production line but a loop you ride until the problem and the solution genuinely fit.
