DTMethod® is a proven methodology for delivering Design Thinking processes in organization.

DTMethod® was developed through a collaboration of researchers and Design Thinking practitioners. The team creating the methodology included psychologists and sociologists, as well as people experienced in designing solutions for business, public administration and universities.

When putting DTMethod® together:

  • Over 100 publications referring to Design Thinking were analyzed
  • The effectiveness of DTMethod® was tested on 40 research groups/teams
  • The research of the effectiveness of DTMethod® was carried out with scientists from AGH University of Science and Technology and SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities
  • 20 business cases were carried out to test DTMethod®
  • DTMethod® was implemented in several institutions (business, NGO, academic centers)

DTMethod® is therefore:

  • Evidence-based
  • Based on practitioners’ experiences
  • Based on stakeholders’ needs.

DTMethod® is Comprised of 3 Pillars:

  • DTModel®, consisting of 3 phases
  • DTTools®, used during phases of DTModel®
  • DTRules® & DTRoles®, which are the rules and the roles that must be followed when using DTMethod®

What is Design Thinking Used For?

In an age when innovation is key to business success and growth, organizations utilize Design Thinking practices to achieve this success and growth.

Design thinking is a mindset and an approach to problem-solving and innovation anchored around human-centered design. It gained traction in the modern business world after Tim Brown, CEO and president of design company IDEO, published an article about it in the Harvard Business Review.

Design Thinking vs. Ideation

Design thinking is different from other innovation and ideation processes in that it’s solution-based and user-centric rather than problem-based. This means it focuses on the solution to a problem instead of the problem itself.

The essence of design thinking is human-centric and user-specific. It’s about the person behind the problem and solution, and requires asking questions such as “Who will be using this product?” and “How will this solution impact the user?”

Case Studies Applying the DTMethod® Process Show:

  • (Dozens of) Prototypes of solutions were prepared which would have the potential for implementation
  • A pool (hundreds of) of ideas was created to help the development of target markets
  • Effective cooperation and communication with clients during each of the phases of DTMethod®
  • An increase employee engagement positively impacting employee motivation and retention levels
Which Problems, Challenges, or Opportunities Where Addressed?
  • Develop a strategy for a multi-cultural workplace
  • How to increase the effectiveness of cooperation and communication with clients?
  • Improve the recruitment process
  • How to improve the IT project management process?

Praxis® is a free framework for the management of projects, programs and portfolios.

Praxis® integrates a body of knowledgemethodologycompetency framework and capability maturity model into a single consistent framework. It also contains tools and resources designed to help individuals, teams and organizations improve their effectiveness and efficiency in delivering projects, programs, and portfolios.

Free

Praxis® is entirely free to use under the terms of the Creative Commons license. You may adapt and use the Praxis® Framework for your own purposes as long as you acknowledge its source. You must also make your work available to others free of royalties. Ideally, your contribution will be incorporated into its web site for the benefit of others.

Community Driven

What is unique about Praxis® is that it was put together in a community-driven way. Most project, program, and portfolio management guides are updated by panels of experts every few years. Praxis® on the other hand, aims to update and extend the framework and library on a continuous basis. As our users provide adaptations and lessons learned, these are incorporated into the framework.

Integrated

Praxis® brings together a body of knowledge, methodology, competence framework and capability maturity model in a single integrated framework with a single structure and terminology. No more need for mapping and translation between different guides.

Practical

There is no such thing as a typical project, program, or portfolio. Therefore, Praxis® is not prescriptive in the way its components are applied. The framework is designed to provide building blocks that can be tailored and assembled to suit all manner of different contexts.

Praxis is the most integrated framework in the market. The image below paints a clear picture to support this statement.
