D3: Design Games
One of the key idea on which D3 build on is “Design is an accident that kicks in at conception, maximizing the opportunities to make that accidents happen is the key for innovation”
D3 turns the design practices into set of games, which brings different set of people, skills and experiences work together to make design decisions in a collaborative way.
D3 describes 11 different design games, which are grouped into five different categories: Startup, Understand, Question, Design and Experience.
