Hi, and welcome to this D-thinking tutorial.
Now it's time to look at the first phase of D-thinking: Understanding.

2
00:00:09.884 --> 00:00:14.617
The first thing you need to do, 
is to create a common understanding about

3
00:00:14.617 --> 00:00:16.883
the challenge within your team.

4
00:00:16.883 --> 00:00:24.883
Feel free to share your personal associations, stories and definitions, as well as what your initial research has shown.

5
00:00:24.883 --> 00:00:29.074
After that you can begin your first brainstorming.

6
00:00:29.074 --> 00:00:37.552
Why is the understanding phase important? 
A common understanding sets a Point of Departure for the team.

7
00:00:37.552 --> 00:00:43.121
It enables the team to align their assumptions, 
and point to a direction.

8
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.868
You'll need a whiteboard or a flipover,
lots of sticky notes and pens or markers.

9
00:00:50.175 --> 00:00:56.534
You might also need a computer to help you look up
facts and information about the subject.

10
00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:03.199
At the end of this phase you you should be able to answer these questions in the team:

11
00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:09.530
What is our common understanding of the challenge?
Who might the stakeholders be?

12
00:01:09.530 --> 00:01:16.715
What related fields could be discovered around the subject?
Are there any analogies that would help our understanding?

13
00:01:16.715 --> 00:01:18.547
How would they apply?

14
00:01:18.653 --> 00:01:28.088
Suggested methods in this phase could be:
Self-reflection, Semantic Analysis and Mind Mapping.
