Design Thinking in Plain English

November 10, 2008 in Growing · Written by Tara Joyce · Follow Me on Twitter

I’ve been writing about design thinking for a few weeks now. I’ve spoke of Western culture’s growing emphasis on creativity and knowledge in business and the increasing importance of design thinking.

As Cultural Creatives we use design thinking naturally. Yay!

Below is a video, created by Standford University students, explaining what design thinking is and how to apply it.

This is a great video to watch if you aren’t 100% clear on the concept of design thinking or if you’d like a better understanding of how your mind goes about solving problems.

    Well done Tara ! I realize that 'Systems Thinking' has a strong supporter that
    will lead “Cultural Creatives” through a most exiting and interesting journey. I will be following the development of the movement with great interest. The beauty of your blog
    is amazing, Everything is so elegant, natural and stylish! I begin learning more things about myself that i was not fully aware of before taking your brilliantly chosen tests.
    Thanks. MIKE.

    Mike,

    You are my biggest fan, I swear. Fellow readers this is a comment from my dear friend and mentor, Mikhail Yanakiev. He is a truly brilliant man who has taught me all I know about what we both call “thinking about thinking”.

    Thank you for visiting the site, Mike. And thank you for all your support and continuous education. My mind expands a bit more every day thanks to you.

    Tara

    Thanks, John. And I agree, we do need more people discussing and
    becoming aware to the bigger use and meaning around design.
