I have long been a fan of the design firm IDEO, and their thoughts and approach to the creative process.
As such, this article really resonated with me. I think my students are also struggling with the synthesis part of the design process as well at the moment, as we are well past the "fun" part of brainstorming ideas, and are now fully immersed in design resolution (or making it work) part of the semester.
I am posting this here to save for later, perhaps for a student discussion on the topic.
