Creating Value Through Design Thinking

Roger Martin

About this video

Description

Traditional businesses rely exclusively on analytical thinking in decision-making and strategy. To innovate and flourish, companies need design thinking, which is a perfect balance between analytical and intuitive thinking. With examples from his book The Design of Business: Why DesignThinking is the Next Big Advantage, Roger explains why design (and design thinking) is so essential to competitive advantage. And how it bridges the gap between everything that came before (what can be proven) and what is yet to come (what we imagine).
