Creative debugging
What is it about?
The Creative Debugging tool can be described as a progressive and in situ design approach that is in the spirit of Living labs and any other type of participatory design / user-centered design approach aimed at anchoring the creative process within the community of users for whom it is intended, or even to co-produce this approach with the users. It is akin to a peddling of the initial concept which is gradually transformed and refined in contact with reality. This peddling process is carried out by the creative team itself and not through a third party. As a result, the process of creative consolidation of the initial idea takes place through progressive twists in constant contact with the reality on the ground
