Summary

A radical shift in perspective to transform your organization to become more innovative

The Design Thinking Playbook is an actionable guide to the future of business。 By stepping back and questioning the current mindset, the faults of the status quo stand out in stark relief--and this guide gives you the tools and frameworks you need to kick off a digital transformation。 Design Thinking is about approaching things differently with a strong user orientation and fast iterations with multidisciplinary teams to solve wicked problems。 It is equally applicable to (re-)design products, services, processes, business models, and ecosystems。 It inspires radical innovation as a matter of course, and ignites capabilities beyond mere potential。 Unmatched as a source of competitive advantage, Design Thinking is the driving force behind those who will lead industries through transformations and evolutions。

This book describes how Design Thinking is applied across a variety of industries, enriched with other proven approaches as well as the necessary tools, and the knowledge to use them effectively。 Packed with solutions for common challenges including digital transformation, this practical, highly visual discussion shows you how Design Thinking fits into agile methods within management, innovation, and startups。

Explore the digitized future using new design criteria to create real value for the user Foster radical innovation through an inspiring framework for action Gather the right people to build highly-motivated teams Apply Design Thinking, Systems Thinking, Big Data Analytics, and Lean Start-up using new tools and a fresh new perspective Create Minimum Viable Ecosystems (MVEs) for digital processes and services which becomes for example essential in building Blockchain applications Practical frameworks, real-world solutions, and radical innovation wrapped in a whole new outlook give you the power to mindfully lead to new heights。 From systems and operations to people, projects, culture, digitalization, and beyond, this invaluable mind shift paves the way for organizations--and individuals--to do great things。 When you're ready to give your organization a big step forward, The Design Thinking Playbook is your practical guide to a more innovative future。

mostly I looked at the pictures。 There is tons of information and lots of practical advice。 It is set up to help you work through a problem。 Has tons of examples。 The book is more than I can tackle right now。

Nice book and good graphic。 Easy to understand and follow。

Minette

This is a great book for the visual learner as it is mostly visual representations of design thinking concepts。 While I found it useful for creating visuals related to concepts I was working through for school, I found it a bit high level overview rather than much on the theory and the why - definitely more focused on the how。 A good resource to be sure but I felt I like I needed something more。。。

Good read。 However, nothing really new or different to many other books on design thinking。

Willie Coetsee

Excellent guide to Design Thinking。

Design thinking là cuốn sách áp dụng trong kinh doanh。 Bản thân design thinking đã là 1 lối tư duy rất hay, cuốn sách ko dày, đọc nhanh nhưng vẫn đang chờ đếp dịp áp dụng。

Natasha Milsted

I found this really useful and ignited my passion again !

Efren Aviles

Amazing, simply the best approach tonDesign Thinking。

Abhinandan Shekar

Could have been lot better! However you can still get certain things which can put you into thoughts!

Raluca

An overview of multiple topics - from design thinking, to systems thinking, lean start-up, AI, digital transformation, visual facilitation and more。 Personally did not find anything new, but you can find info for all the buzzwords in one single place。

This book is packed full of useful tools, frameworks and approaches for implementing design thinking。 It's a bit like buying a master mechanics tool set。 the downside is that it's extremely dense。 It's not something you can easily sit down, progress through, and implement。 However, it's a great reference manual for the future as you bump into issues working with design thinking。 This book is packed full of useful tools, frameworks and approaches for implementing design thinking。 It's a bit like buying a master mechanics tool set。 the downside is that it's extremely dense。 It's not something you can easily sit down, progress through, and implement。 However, it's a great reference manual for the future as you bump into issues working with design thinking。 。。。more

Very comprehensive read about the various methods & tools of Design Thinking。 I also love the approach of starting the book by defining various personas with their unique needs and aspirations leading to the methods & tools which are suitable for them i。e。 attempting to explain the book similar to a project in a design/innovation portfolio - really unique and interesting approach。 This makes it a must-read for those who are passionate about Design Thinking & Innovation。

There are some great takeaways but overall just too much information crammed in a way that is not easy to follow- personas aren’t strong enough to remember, chapter sections don’t emphasise the takeaways clearly, etc。 There are better books for design thinking methodology but the first section is a good visual walk though for complete beginners。

Luke Nhung

Well image, well explanation but a little hard to read, basically it still worth to read

One of the good books which combines design thinking with systems thinking and giving insights how strategic foresight helps us to create greater visions。 The book focuses on the design for future where it talks about the design criteria in digitization, the design of ecosystems and theoptions of how to combine data analytics and design thinking。The book stimulates and helps readers to put well-known and new tools in the right context of theapplication; to reflect on the entire scope of design t One of the good books which combines design thinking with systems thinking and giving insights how strategic foresight helps us to create greater visions。 The book focuses on the design for future where it talks about the design criteria in digitization, the design of ecosystems and theoptions of how to combine data analytics and design thinking。The book stimulates and helps readers to put well-known and new tools in the right context of theapplication; to reflect on the entire scope of design thinking and to set an inspiring framework in order to enshrine design thinking even more strongly in organisations and generate radical innovations。 。。。more

Great introduction to Design ThinkingGreat content, didn’t like the way it was told, not much of a fan of stories of fake people, but messages were good

Not many new ideas but I find this can be like a handbook。

Andreas Haslinger

This book is a hot mess that superficially covers 1,000 topics without any obvious coherent structure or depth。 On top of that it's hard to read and written in an incomprehensible manner so that I couldn't even bring myself to read it from start to finish once。 To someone who wants to learn about design thinking I cannot recommend this in any way。For a book that claims to be "the first design thinking book that lives the mindset from the first to the last page" I wonder if the authors actually e This book is a hot mess that superficially covers 1,000 topics without any obvious coherent structure or depth。 On top of that it's hard to read and written in an incomprehensible manner so that I couldn't even bring myself to read it from start to finish once。 To someone who wants to learn about design thinking I cannot recommend this in any way。For a book that claims to be "the first design thinking book that lives the mindset from the first to the last page" I wonder if the authors actually ever thought about the readers of their own book。 After all, design thinking is all about the user。。。 So why on earth would the authors choose this impractical and huge page format? Where are you supposed read this book comfortably? The fact that it is also quite heavy and there is only the tiniest amount of space for your thumbs to hold the book (to hold it thightly, you will have to cover parts of the text) makes me question if the authors actually apply their own principles。 Furthermore, the horrid grid system to which the paragraphs are aligned just makes the book that much harder to read。 I know it seems like nitpicking but the whole book seems like a loveless, confusing and random collection of well-known design thinking principles。If you want to learn about a mindful digital transformation of teams, products services, businesses and ecosystems, please go and look elsewhere。 。。。more

Very comprehensive, and what I love more is how the authors marry the various business protocols with DT, and into something that makes a little more sense。 Love the inclusion of digitization contexts too, which makes the materials even more relevant and current。

Seemed promising, but the writing is terrible。 The flow of the text is often awkward, and the voice does not sound natural。 Reading multiple passages out loud confirmed the hypothesis that a much stronger edit would have helped。 Have you ever heard anyone say "cotton to" when what they were trying to say was "understand"? It's crazy。The "playbook" aspect is light on examples from real life companies, and the techniques often lack enough depth for any practical application。 I've read a lot of bus Seemed promising, but the writing is terrible。 The flow of the text is often awkward, and the voice does not sound natural。 Reading multiple passages out loud confirmed the hypothesis that a much stronger edit would have helped。 Have you ever heard anyone say "cotton to" when what they were trying to say was "understand"? It's crazy。The "playbook" aspect is light on examples from real life companies, and the techniques often lack enough depth for any practical application。 I've read a lot of business books on Lean and agile in the last few years。 I usually take a lot of notes, and get a few good ideas from each book。 I hit 120+ pages in this book and realized I hadn't taken any notes at all。 I'm going to look elsewhere for another resource on Design Thinking。 。。。more

Remarkably practical and useful book that posits the combination of design thinking, systems thinking, and combining them in a hybrid manner (with an appropriately diverse team) to create innovative solutions。
