"The term design thinking gets bandied around a lot these days, but what does it really mean? For many people, it can almost seem meaningless, a buzzword that helps mystify meaning rather than help sharpen it. Ironically, that's the opposite of what design thinking should be.

Creating new solutions to enduring problems can be difficult, especially if you don't know where to start. Design thinking gives you the tools and processes you need to focus your efforts where they will add the most value."
