(2018) : Design Thinking: Project Portfolio. Management and Simulation - A Creative Mix for Research In: Lukosch, Heide; Bekebrede, Geertje; Kortmann, Rens (Hg.): Simulation Gaming: Application for Sustainable Cities and Smart Infrastructures: 48th International Simulation and Gaming Association Conference, ISAGA 2017: Cham, Switzerland: Springer International Publishing AG
Abstract: This paper takes de Bono's explanation of "design thinking' as the
starting point for a report on a doctoral research project that began with a
conventional "why?' question, and then, instead of looking for an "explanation',
chose to look forward in time to establish an understanding of "how to' think
differently about a recurring problem. The catalyst for this work was observation
of otherwise competent managers making desperately wrong decisions when
good decision making was crucial to their company's future. The initial choice
to "look forward' when designing the research strategy was made well before
there was a clear understanding of what was being observed. Given that trajectory,
this paper explores the process by which a simulation was created and
then used in conjunction with a comparatively new approach to data collection
(Explanation looks backwards and design looks forward [1].).
