What is an example of a problem statement?
For instance, consider the following example of a problem statement: Employee turnover rate is up by 60% with most of them leaving due to lack of support for growth opportunities. To retain top talent, we need to invest in quality training and development initiatives.
At which stage problem statement is made in design thinking?
This happens during the Define stage when we organise, interpret, and make sense of the data we have gathered to create a problem statement. Although analysis takes place during the Empathise stage and synthesis takes place during the Define stage, they do not only happen in the distinct stages of Design Thinking.
