It has been said that creativity is intelligence having fun. Design thinking is a problem-solving process that best captures this spirit. It is a human-centred and prototyping-based methodology that helps individuals and teams solve customer problems. The result is better products or services for customers and smarter internal processes for organizations.
How exactly does design thinking work? And how can you incorporate design thinking into your business?
