Throughout history, people always went through the same steps in search of innovation. Each company has its own name for this process, but after studying innovation in corporate giants (such as Microsoft, Sony, Lego, etc.) “Double Diamond” model has appeared: a simple technique that helps to stimulate and manage your creativity in order to crack any challenge.
