Design thinking is a human-centered approach to problem solving that draws from the designer's toolkit to meet technical, commercial, and human needs. It involves gathering an interdisciplinary team to research problems, generate many ideas through prototyping and experimentation, and create innovative solutions focused on the user experience. Case studies like Shimano, Nintendo Wii, Marriott, and Whole Foods demonstrate how design thinking can lead to new perspectives and long-term impact through inspiration, collaboration, and putting people first.
