ASSIGNMENT PROMPT: White Paper
Overview:
The final step in the design thinking process is to establish a prototype of our solution to start to get some feedback on its effectiveness to determine whether or not to move forward with the idea. So how do we build in a process of evolving our ideas so that it becomes a part of our organizational culture.
