Design Thinking in Corporate DNA

Editor's Notes

  • #4 In organizations, we have our own version of classrooms. We call them meetings. A bunch of really smart people get together to listen to the highest paid person in the room. And that’s where we make the most important decisions.
  • #5 Regardless of what’s happening in the real world. It’s easy to forget about our customers and make a bunch of assumptions about how they will actually behave.
