Why are toolkits so popular?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Clients consider tools and toolkits effective ways to capture the knowledge and skills of experts in a format that can easily be shared. Toolkits promise to make a complex process accessible to novice practicioners. However, a design thinking toolkit does not automatically make everyone a design thinker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With just a hammer and a saw you can\u2019t build a house straight away, you need to learn how to use each device individually, and you can only get started if you have wood and nails. It really helps if a \u2018master&#8217; explains you the tips and tricks, so you don\u2019t have to rely on reading the manual. If you use your tool over and over again you will be able to create stable and good looking objects. And finally, some day you\u2019ll be able to build upon your &#8216;master&#8217;s\u2019 advice and develop your own way of working.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The risk of \u2019tool-ification&#8217; is to reduce design thinking practice to a rote procedure, and in that way it can lose depth and creativity. Reflecting on our projects, toolkits are never designed in isolation. We develop artefacts, but we also design the way they will be used in practice. Sometimes tools form part of a course or training, in other cases they are used by experts to guide colleagues. It&#8217;s important to apply almost a service design approach to making toolkits, to keep in mind how they will function and be used in the broader ecosystem of an organisation, group, or class.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STBY has been involved in the creation of toolkits for several clients, in sectors from education to international development\u00a0to design.
