Abstract

Designers' work processes are shaped by a four-phase ‘discover, define, develop, and deliver’ model that alternates between divergent and convergent thinking. We suggest consideration of this conceptual scaffold in ‘design sprint’ workshops for graduate students in the life sciences and in design to promote creativity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and knowledge cocreation.
