Design Thinking
More and more it has become apparent that Zoomers and Millennials in the workforce are demanding to be heard.
Design Thinking is a methodology for creating strategic plans, brainstorming and producing solutions to an organization’s ongoing challenges. Solutions that can focus on concrete operational improvements, the conceptual design of new products and services, and continuous improvement approaches that value the input of the people who do the work. Design Thinking is a way not just to involve your people in one off design projects. It is an organizational mindset that posits that the people who do the work or provide the customer service know best how to improve/enhance the products and services they do every day. Design Thinking and AGILE Project Management using SCRUM-based methods are quite inter-related. Not so much in process, as much in philosophy and the value systems that undergird them.
