Abstract
The research article focuses on determining the effectiveness of Design Thinking tools for optimizing customer service in public and private companies. This objective is developed through applied research, with a descriptive scope and a qualitative approach. The methodology is divided into three phases: Phase 1 involves the appropriation of the Design Thinking methodology; Phase 2 focuses on fieldwork; and Phase 3 measures the impact of the Design Thinking methodology on customer service and attention. To develop the research phases, a finite population of public and private companies in the city of Cúcuta is identified, using non-probability convenience sampling. Consequently, the sample is determined based on companies that express interest in participating in the research. During the fieldwork, research instruments such as a checklist and a questionnaire are applied using observation techniques and semi-structured interviews, respectively. From a pedagogical perspective, the research project represents an opportunity to apply innovative tools in the teaching–learning process.
