In short' design thinking converts need into demand. Its a human-centered approach to problem solving that helps people and organizations become more innovative and more creative.

Design thinking is not just applicable to so-called creative industries or people who work in the design field.

This is not a book by designers for designers; this is a book for creative leaders seeking to infuse design thinking into every level of an organization' product' or service to drive new alternatives for business and society.
