For companies who leverage design thinking, the prizes are rich. Research by the Design Management Institute finds that design-led S&P 500 companies outperform the rest of the index by 211 percent.
Design thinking is a powerful competitive advantage that many of the world’s leading companies are using to drive innovation, transformation, customer-centricity and business outcomes. But what exactly is design thinking?
In an era of always-on transformation, organizations face increasingly diverse and complex business problems that need to be understood and addressed — design thinking helps with both.
Combining analytical and intuitive thinking, the design thinking process reshapes companies and people, and embeds new creative problem-solving capabilities, so they can continuously address emerging, and often poorly understood, shifts in customer needs, technology, and the competitive environment.
