In Designing for Growth: A Manager's Toolkit, Jeanne Liedtka and Tim Ogilvie provided managers with guidance on using design as a powerful tool to boost the innovation needed to grow profitable businesses. This new book emphasizes the relevance of design thinking to business outcomes beyond just revenue growth, illustrating how design thinking can be used as a tool to approach managerial and organizational challenges. Based on a study that aimed to identify the specific ways in which managers use design thinking, this book presents a series of case studies that show how design thinking was practically implemented to innovate and solve problems. The organization profiled include Toyota, IBM, Steelcase, Intuit, Healthways, SAP, and social sector organizations including Dublin City Council in Ireland and The Good Kitchen in Denmark. These concrete examples will help readers grasp the intricacies of designing thinking, and will show skeptical managers that design thinking is not just for product design or development departments.

Seller: World of Books Inc, Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Hardback. Condition: Good. Design-oriented firms such as Apple and IDEO have demonstrated how design thinking can affect business results. However, most managers lack a sense of how to use this new approach for issues other than product development and sales growth. Solving Problems with Design Thinking details ten real-world examples of managers who successfully applied design methods at 3M, Toyota, IBM, Intuit, and SAP; entrepreneurial start-ups such as MeYou Health; and government and social sector organizations, including the City of Dublin and Denmark's The Good Kitchen. Using design skills such as ethnography, visualization, storytelling, and experimentation, these managers produced innovative solutions to such problems as implementing strategy, supporting a sales force, redesigning internal processes, feeding the elderly, and engaging citizens. They elaborate on the challenges they faced and the processes and tools they used, providing a clear path to implementation based on the principles and practices laid out in Jeanne Liedtka and Tim Ogilvie's Designing for Growth: A Design Thinking Tool Kit for Managers.
