Abstract

In our research project Collaborative Creativity of Development Processes in the IT Industry, we pursue the question how design thinking can help to enhance the innovativeness in IT development and which individual and organizational factors facilitate or encourage this. In this chapter, we outline what the contribution of design thinking to engineering thinking can be, how it is related to akin IT development approaches (e.g. agile development), and what our initial insights on the didactic and organizational implications are.

A concept of the “problem space” was first introduced by Newell et al. (1967), although with a different meaning, as they locate the representation of possible solutions in the problem space without regarding a separate solution space. This conceptualization does not appear sufficient for our purpose, as the distinction between learning about the problem and learning about the solution in design thinking could not be depicted.
