Design Thinking
A methodology that imbues the full spectrum
of innovation activities with a human-centered
design ethos (HBR).
By this I mean that innovation is powered by
a thorough understanding, through direct
observation, of what people want and need in
their lives and what they like or dislike about
the way particular products are made,
packaged, marketed, sold, and supported.
