Review "Design Thinking is a very timely addition to the growing body of literature regarding the 'Design Mind-Set' that is increasing needed to compensate for some excesses due to the 'Science/Efficiency Mind-Set'. It is a comprehensive hands-on guide to unleashing your creativity and to address wicked problems even before they arrive on your company's bottom-line. The book is richly endowed with real-life experiences and images from corporate case studies. I strongly recommend Design Thinking to all manner of practitioners and students in any discipline." -- Prof. Larry Leifer, PhD, Director at the Center for Design, Research, Stanford University "It both provides tools and techniques for design thinking and illustrates the principles of usability advocated within through its own layout and organization, and so serves as its own best recommendation." -- Technical Communication About the Author
