• ImaginationRelated: Designers imagine alternatives before materializing and evaluating them.

• CreativityRelated: Design applies creative generation to practical constraints and user contexts.

• PrototypingNarrower topic: Its process treats prototyping as one stage in learning about a problem and solution.

• Perspective-takingRelated: Its user-centered methods ask designers to understand situations from users’ viewpoints.

• Systems analysisCompared with: It emphasizes exploratory solution development where systems analysis emphasizes structured problem models and constraints.

• Product designRelated: Its iterative methods help product teams discover needs and evaluate possible solutions.

• Product managementCompared with: It offers a problem-solving approach that product teams may use, not a full product accountability.

• Engineering design processCompared with: It shares iterative methods but emphasizes human needs and reframing problems.

• Social innovationRelated: Its user-focused methods can turn social needs into testable service ideas.

• New product developmentRelated: Its user-centered cycles help teams explore and refine possible product solutions.

• Innovation managementRelated: It supplies practices for exploring user needs before committing to solutions.

• Functional fixednessRelated: Reframing and prototyping can expose uses overlooked under an object's conventional description.

• TRIZCompared with: Design thinking begins with human needs; TRIZ often begins with technical contradictions.
