For example, current guidance often suggests practices as important whilst simultaneously cautioning against their overuse with little clarity on how such judgements should be made. Yet, many processes in both practice and educational contexts fail not because of an inability to execute basic practices, but to bring them together into a coherent process in context. Hence, there is an urgent need to better understand how designers navigate processes.<\/p>\n<p>In response to this need we turn to threshold concepts as cornerstones for distilling and communicating particular ways of thinking and practising that may not be \u201ceasily assimilated or accommodated within one\u2019s existing meaning frame\u201d (Land et al., 2016, p. xi). While several works have outlined practice focused threshold concepts none have to-date applied this lens to process navigation.<\/p>\n<p>We build on the widely held idea that designers navigate processes through sensing various areas of concern when designing. However, we also acknowledge design thinking is an ill-defined term (Carrion-Weiss et al., 2021). For example, Kolko (2018) identified two different interpretations of Design Thinking \u2013 one rooted in designing and one rooted in business. Hence, we aim to elicit types of sensing the cut across interpretations as well as examine potential conflicts between business- and design-based sensing and navigation. To this end, we examine:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sensing of Uncertainty<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sensing of Design Space<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sensing of Context<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sensing of Others<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We define these types, elucidate their features, and explore their theoretical roots as a basis for their communication into practice and educational contexts. Hence, we shed light on the &#8220;signature approach of a designer,&#8221; explaining what happens in the gaps between the steps in the design process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Deliberate Process Navigation Through Sensing as a Design Thinking Threshold Concept Date: 15 October 2025 Time: 13:30- 14:30 Venue: NUBS.2.05 If you would like&#8230; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/2025\/10\/02\/entrepreneurship-innovation-research-seminar-dr-lucy-hatt\/\" rel=\"bookmark\"><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11659,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1139],"class_list":["post-17754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-research","tag-ei-seminar"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11659"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17754"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17754\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17758,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17754\/revisions\/17758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
