More About This Book

Overview

The myth of innovation is that brilliant ideas leap fully formed from the minds of geniuses. The reality is that most innovations come from a process of rigorous examination through which great ideas are identified and developed before being realized as new offerings and capabilities.

This book introduces the idea of design thinking‚ the collaborative process by which the designer′s sensibilities and methods are employed to match people′s needs not only with what is technically feasible and a viable business strategy. In short‚ design thinking converts need into demand. It′s a human−centered approach to problem solving that helps people and organizations become more innovative and more creative.

Design thinking is not just applicable to so−called creative industries or people who work in the design field. It′s a methodology that has been used by organizations such as Kaiser Permanente to icnrease the quality of patient care by re−examining the ways that their nurses manage shift change‚ or Kraft to rethink supply chain management. This is not a book by designers for designers; this is a book for creative leaders seeking to infuse design thinking into every level of an organization‚ product‚ or service to drive new alternatives for business and society.

Editorial Reviews

BusinessWeek
“In his new book, the CEO of design shop IDEO shows how even hospitals can transform the way they work by tapping frontline staff to engineer change.”
Core77
“With people like Brown codifying design thinking, the tools are out there to solve our problems if a few people are willing to attack them with that sort of tenacity.”
More Reviews (4) Fewer Reviews
Inc.
“This should be mandatory reading for marketers and engineers who can’t understand why a product as cool as the Segway wasn’t a breakout hit.”
Miami Herald
“Brown makes a potent case for employing this creative collaboration in a variety of settings.”
New York Times
“Brown writes with a winning combination of thoughtfulness, pragmatism and enthusiasm... He avoids the trap of presenting design thinking as a panacea. Mr. Brown charts its failures as well as successes…”
SEED
“Brown is clear, persuasive, and often funny... Even for those of us without our own sovereign nation or blue-chip corporation, design thinking offers a guide for rethinking and organizing our everyday creative processes.”

    Innovative guide to design thinking

    Tim Brown's understated, exciting take on innovation draws its inspiration from design; he calls the process "design thinking." Brown is CEO and president of IDEO, an influential U.S. design and innovation firm. This book conveys that innovation is the norm at IDEO. The company expects employees to come up with not just fresh ideas but new solutions to real-world problems. Brown's and IDEO's expectations of changing the world are realistic because they've done it more than once; their excitement about creation never seems giddy or off-balance. IDEO has accomplished so much that many of Brown's suggestions might seem familiar to those in the field, where IDEO's techniques are already widely known. Even so, this methodical, socially aware approach proves engaging and useful. getAbstract recommends this guide to designers, to those who works with designers and to anyone interested in innovation and creativity.
