As a way to reframe problems, ideate solutions, and iterate toward better answers, design thinking is already well established in the commercial world. Through ten stories of struggles and successes in fields such as health care, education, agriculture, transportation, social services, and security, the authors show how collaborative creativity can shake up even the most entrenched bureaucracies--and provide a practical roadmap for readers to implement these tools. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe design thinkers Jeanne Liedtka, Randy Salzman, and Daisy Azer explore how major agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services and the Transportation and Security Administration in the United States, as well as organizations in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, have instituted principles of design thinking. In each case, these groups have used the tools of design thinking to reduce risk, manage change, use resources more effectively, bridge the communication gap between parties, and manage the competing demands of diverse stakeholders. Along the way, they have improved the quality of their products and enhanced the experiences of those they serve. These strategies are accessible to analytical and creative types alike, and their benefits extend throughout an organization. This book will help today's leaders and thinkers implement these practices in their own pursuit of creative solutions that are both innovative and achievable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeanne Liedtka, Randy Salzman, Daisy Azer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231179529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231179522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia Business School Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 8.80w x 1.30d","brand":"Jeanne Liedtka","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045135085823,"sku":"9780231179522","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_792e9ef9-0359-42ab-9aba-1d00a566c2e5.jpg?v=1684976940","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/design-thinking-for-the-greater-jeanne-liedtka-9780231179522","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
