Overview of Video: David Kelley talks with BusinessWeek about what Design Thinking really is and how they teach it at the d.school.

Overview of Video: Roger Martin, dean of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, talks with BusinessWeek about the design approach to solving problems and how to apply it to recent events, including the financial crisis.
Thoughts on this Video: Martins’ definition of Design Thinking hit me as odd initially, by made more sense as the interview progressed. I don’t always think Design Thinking has to create a “model”. However, his definition may be more suited to the business world than some others.

Thoughts on this Video: This may be the best “short” look at what Design Thinking is and how to do it that I have come across. If you can, find a way to participate in the activities that the facilitator leads.

Building a team for design thinking

@dTblog — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 15:32:25 +0000

Overview of Video: The sustainable fishing guys talk about the importance and process of selection the team for your Design Thinking challenge.

Thoughts on this Video: Very good stuff! Not everyone has the ability to function in an environment where ideas are both generated and challenged. You should be very selective in the people that you put on that team. There are some good resources out there on WHO should be a part of your team. I am currently putting together a pdf worksheet on that topic.
