Building Successful Design Thinking Teams (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798888158142)

Design thinking is on everyone's lips. The method is considered to have miraculous powers with regard to the innovative strength of companies and organizations. Many companies are extraordinarily successful with it, others fail.

This book is not a textbook on design thinking, and even though the method is presented, the focus is not on the phase model of design thinking - of which, by the way, there are several interpretations - but on the question of what makes design thinking successful. Which pitfalls lead to the fact that some companies are not successful with Design Thinking at all? What framework conditions must be created in order to be successful with Design Thinking initiatives? And finally: What are the requirements with regard to the composition and structure of innovative Design Thinking teams?

The author has been advising companies on their use of agile methods and frameworks and on agilization for years. He has a broad wealth of experience in key success factors for the introduction of Design Thinking and the collaboration of Design Thinking with other agile methods and frameworks, such as Lean Startup or Scrum.
