The Design Thinking Playbook is an actionable guide to the
future of business. By stepping back and questioning the
current mindset, the faults of the status quo stand out in
stark relief—and this guide gives you the tools and
frameworks you need to kick off a digital transformation.
Design Thinking is about approaching things differently
with a strong user orientation and fast iterations with
multidisciplinary teams to solve wicked problems. It is
equally applicable to (re-)design products, services,
processes, business models, and ecosystems. It inspires
radical innovation as a matter of course, and ignites
capabilities beyond mere potential. Unmatched as a
source of competitive advantage, Design Thinking is the
driving force behind those who will lead industries through
transformations and evolutions.
