Why Design Thinking?
From Fortune 100 to entrepreneurial start-ups, Design Thinking methods are used by companies competing in fast-moving environments who are facing disruption in their industry, looking to build a culture of innovation, manage change, align teams, and differentiate their brand. Design Thinking processes are adaptable to any business environment and are highly effective for companies seeking a consistent approach to problem-solving that is efficient, innovative, and reduces risks through rapid prototyping and testing.
