An interview with Dr. Reeves about how things have changed in the field of DBR lately. Dr. Reeves suggests one of the most interesting developments in the recent period was an article published in January,2012 in which the author basically reviewed the last 10 years of DBR reported in various journals and found that basically the jury is still out on whether or not DBR is attaining its two major outcomes; the outcome of robust interventions that really improve practice and reusable design principles.

A very good website explaining the main features of design thinking and providing samples and toolkits for "design thinking". You can sign up for free to download design thinking toolkit which helps you to design a project.
