Design Thinking for Innovation: Elevate

Design Thinking is not exclusive to designers or those in creative fields. It is increasingly being used across the board to strategically improve processes, simplify complex problems, and foster a culture of innovation to drive business value. In fact, while it produces game-changing solutions, this structured process actually reduces the risks associated with launching new ideas.

Companies that integrate design thinking into their corporate strategy outperform their peers by as much as 228% annually (source: Design Value Index).

In today’s competitive workforce, understanding and implementing Design Thinking practices can boost your career. Over 50% of design-led companies learned Design Thinking from specialist academic institutions, coaches, or agencies (source: Parsons School of Design).
