INDUSTRY AND DESIGN THINKING

Source: Creativity at work: Design thinking as a strategy for Innovation by Linda Naiman https://www.creativityatwork.com/design-thinking-strategy-for-innovation/

The gaining popularity of design thinking in industry is such that the big four of consultancy firms such as McKinsey, Accenture, PwC, and Deloitte have acquired design
consultancies.
MEANING OF DT
Tim Brown (2009) understands design thinking as the intersection of “what is
desirable from a human point of view with what is logically feasible and
economically viable”
Dorst (2011) describes it as “an exciting new paradigm for dealing with problems in
many professions”.
Tim Brown (2009) outlines that “the continuum of innovation is best thought as a
system of overlapping spaces rather than a sequence of orderly steps”. And he adds
that such overlapping spaces are thought as:
Inspiration: the problem or opportunity that motivates the search for solutions;
Ideation: the process of generating, developing and testing ideas;
Implementation: the path that leads from the project room to the market.
Those three spaces, combined, are critical to achieve excellence and, ultimately, to
innovate.
