A transnational perspective on design thinking

Even though my initial idea was to collect resources in some sort of chronological order I’ve decided to collect and document them as they come. Today Niti Bhan posted a great article in her blog as a response to Victor Lombardi’s idea to frame the idea of design thinking. As I’ve understood his motivation he wants to push the discussion forward in order to be understood by the corporate boardroom as well (Quoted from his blog):

Here’s how I would start framing it…

1. The pace and complexity of 21st century society present formidable challenges that require us to compliment our judgement thinking with an additional way of thinking which is collaborative, abductive, experimental, personal, integrative, and interpretive (replace with your own definition)
2. This way of thinking leads us to do (fill in kinds of actions)
3. These actions benefit companies by (fill in kinds of benefits in a way that impacts profit)
4. The above can be summed up by saying, “(fill in summary in ten words or less)”

Niti Bhan calls herself “A global nomad in liminal space” and her answers to the questions above clearly reflect her global background and perspective. Both postings are worth a reading!
