“Design thinking is a human-centred approach to innovation that draws from the designer’s toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.” — Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO

In other words, design thinking is a methodology used by designers to solve complex problems, and find desirable solutions for clients. In today’s service-oriented and client-centric business, design thinking has become more prevalent even among non-designers to find innovative solutions to a business challenge.

It has proven its effectiveness to problem-solving and can be replicated anywhere to achieve desirable results.
