New Thinking Tools for the New Year

As 2022 dawns, I inevitably think about upcoming creative challenges and new ways to solve problems, so I was delighted to discover a website that gathers a range of interesting problem-solving tools together.

Untools.co is a visually-oriented website filled with various thinking and design tools to help people solve problems and make decisions. 

If you have a challenge but are unsure where to start, some helpful “prompt questions” on the Untools website will direct you to different thinking tool options.

Adam Amran is a product designer who gets paid to solve problems, but he couldn’t find a good place on the Web where different creative thinking tools were collected, so he created Untools.co

Decisions, Decisions! Problem-Solving Tools for Designers

The "design process" is often a "decision-making process."

And often the key to decision-making success comes through using the proper tools.

That's where the Untools website comes in.  Untools is a collection of thinking tools to help you solve problems, make decisions, and understand systems.

The Untools folks have collected (and continually add to) different types of decision-making ideas and frameworks that you can try out right away and use to kick-start your design thinking.

I especially liked the Prompt Questions section of the Untools website that helps you choose the right thinking tool(s) for your particular purpose(s).
