Design thinking is a way to make scalable changes, fast. It can apply to every aspect of our lives: personal (changing up your online profile, say), professional (like making a career pivot), or organizational (a reorg, a cultural shift, a product innovation… and many, many more examples).
The strategic designer creates the conditions for scalable solution creation. This may mean solving problems, true. But it may also mean redesigning the whole reality so the problem goes away.
“But I’m not creative!”
Many so-called experts believe that design thinking belongs only in certain life-cycles of an organization. This course takes a more liberal approach. Others see design as the sole purview of designated creatives. Design professor and bestselling author Jack Roberts disagrees: “You, like all of us, are a designer. If you were ever a child, you’re still creative. If you’ve ever solved a problem, you’re creative.”
