The Impact of Design Thinking Based on Humanism on Innovation Management

Abstract

In the current global market environment characterized by rapid development and fierce competition, the survival and growth of enterprises increasingly hinge on effective innovation management. This research centers on the design thinking underpinned by humanism and comprehensively and in-depth explores its multifaceted impacts on enterprise innovation management.By systematically dissecting the theoretical origins and key elements of design thinking, this study takes user needs as the starting point and conducts the analysis using rigorous experimental methods. The research findings reveal that design thinking can significantly optimize the innovation process, making it more flexible, iterative, and user-oriented. Through rapid prototyping and user testing, enterprises can promptly obtain feedback and refine the design schemes, thereby enhancing the efficiency and quality of innovation.Simultaneously, design thinking vigorously promotes cross-departmental collaboration, breaks down the barriers of traditional organizations, integrates the knowledge and skills of members with diverse professional backgrounds, and gives rise to more innovative ideas and solutions. Moreover, it actively cultivates an innovative culture, encourages employees to be bold in experimentation and innovation, creates an open, inclusive, and cooperative working atmosphere, and stimulates the innovative potential of employees.The experimental results clearly demonstrate that the teams receiving training in humanistic design thinking significantly outperform the control groups adopting traditional innovation management methods in core indicators such as innovation efficiency, user satisfaction, and team collaboration. The application effects are particularly remarkable in the high-tech industry.This study not only provides abundant and systematic data support for the theoretical development and practical application of design thinking but also further enriches the theoretical framework of innovation management. It offers scientifically-based guidance for enterprises when implementing design thinking and precisely pinpoints the points of convergence between design thinking and the characteristics of different industries, effectively expanding its application scenarios and providing new ideas and directions for enterprises' practices in the field of innovation management.
