Design Thinking and Heuristic Leadership

Heuristic leader main mission is to define a Need while using Critical Thinking & Global Awareness
·      Critical thinking: Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from.
·      Global awareness: a conceptual understanding based upon an applicable knowledge of global and cultural perspectives.
Than the Heuristic leader transforms it from Strategy to Action while using Problem Solving & Proactive Creativity
·      Problem solving: the ability to use cognitive processing in order to find a solution to a difficult question or situation.
·      Creativity: the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patters, relationships, and to create meaningful new ideas, the ability to make new things or think of new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.
This process is improved by using Design Thinking methodology.
The Design Thinking methodology first defines the problem and then implements the solutions, always with the needs of the people demographic at the core of concept development. This process focuses on need finding, understanding, creating, thinking, and doing. At the core of this process is a bias towards action and creation: by creating and testing something, the Heuristic leader continues to learn and improve upon his initial ideas. A heuristic Leader uses a mental shortcut that helps him make decisions and judgments quickly without having to spend a lot of time researching and analyzing information.
There are several different categories or types of heuristic leaders. The most intelligent heuristic leaders make dumb decisions: availability, representativeness, and base-rate heuristics.

The design thinking process consists of these 6 steps:

EMPATHIZE: Work to fully understand the experience of the people. The Heuristic leader does this through observation, interaction, and immersing yourself in their experiences.


DEFINE: Process and synthesize the findings from the Heuristic leader empathy work in order to form a people point of view. The best way is the heuristic way:  a process or representation or a short-cut or strategy for achieving an outcome or discovery that is not guaranteed or proven in a formal system.

IDEATE: Explore a wide variety of possible solutions through generating a large quantity of diverse possible solutions, allowing the Heuristic leader to step beyond the obvious and explore a range of ideas.

PROTOTYPE: Transform ideas into a physical form so that the Heuristic leader experiences and interacts with them and, in the process, learn and develop more empathy.

TEST: Try out high-resolution products and use observations and feedback to evaluate the prototype.

FOCUS: Reassessment of the solution. Back to the first stage to refine the prototypes, learn more about the users, and refine the original point of view.
Heuristic Leader should dare and be brave. Heuristic Leader involves making decisions using critical thinking, with wisdom and a clear mind. Heuristic Leader is not afraid to use his critical abilities to lead forward even if it's against all other opinions. He is confident of the decisions that he makes. His eyes are wide open to analyze the situation in a critically sharp way.

Heuristic leaders are most useful in the world for high precision situations. Heuristic leadership should be consistent innovation, effective integration of technology, meaningful professional development, global connecting and an open mind while using Design Thinking methodology.
