What is design thinking?

Design thinking is a method of creative problem-solving that pushes organizations to focus on the people, users, or customers they are creating something for. It's not limited only to designers: anyone who is making something for another person can use design thinking to create customer-centric content, products, or designs.

Everyone at your business likes to think they're customer-centric.

And while solving for the customer might be the professed mission of your organization, the customer's point-of-view can sometimes get lost in the shuffle of deadlines, budgets, team bandwidth, and the time available in a workday.
