Sample question
A design team pins sixty interview quotes and observations to a wall, sorts them into five themes and writes three insight statements. Which phase of the VCD design process and which mode of thinking does this show?
  • Discover, using divergent thinking
  • Develop, using divergent thinking
  • Define, using convergent thinking
  • Deliver, using convergent thinking
Show the worked answer

Answer: C

Sorting, categorising and summarising research into insights is synthesis, which is convergent thinking, and synthesising research to clarify the problem belongs to Define. Discover gathers the material divergently, while Develop and Deliver work on design ideas and solutions that this team has not yet reached.
