Design Thinking Module: 3. Define & Refine

At this point, your team has already completed some primary and secondary research to better understand how your housing supply challenge statement fits within a larger system, interviewed key stakeholders, and analyzed their responses for key insights. You’ve done a lot of work to gather information, and now is the time to make sense of it all. In Module 3: Define, you will be turning everything you’ve learned into a clear problem statement that reflects local context. You started this process off with a broad challenge statement, at this stage you’re narrowing that down to a clear and precise problem statement. This will help ensure that the housing supply challenge solution that you explore will address key problems.
