Abstract

Generative AI (GenAI), as a democratizing force, has provided widespread access to powerful AI capabilities, fundamentally altering the way we work and live. This democratization fuels the co-creation of innovative solutions by combining the creative and analytical power of human designers with the computational capabilities of AI. This paper proposes a conceptual framework that leverages the power of generative AI to infuse the Design Thinking process with novel perspectives, unlocking new avenues for innovation and creative problem-solving. We conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with 60 senior executives across various organizations. Using a grounded theory approach and thematic analysis, we identified key themes and patterns. The resulting framework provides a practical guide for organizations seeking to harness the power of generative AI to create exceptional service experiences. It outlines specific strategies for integrating generative AI into the various stages of the Design Thinking process, from ideation to implementation, and provide practical examples and case studies to illustrate its potential.
