constraint of existing business model: but business systems designed for efficient, so new ideas are incremental, predictable, easy to copy but concentrating on center of bell curve only confirms what we already know vs new learnings or surprises. Need to head to the edges and find "extreme" users Art of the Brief: not too broad nor concrete. Often add additional constraints and refinements midcourse My expectations may have been set too high due to recommendation I've got but the honest truth is that if you're aware of modern practices in software development, you won't find anything new here. Even if this book is filled with plenty of real-life cases, I just couldn't help myself missing the 'substance'.

Change by Design: How Design Thinking Transforms - Goodreads

Barry Schwartz, "Paradox of Choice": most people don't want more options, just want what they want, and paralyzed by fear if overwhelmed by choice (optimizers), or just put up with whatever works (satisficers) Change by Design is an instruction manual on design thinking in the same way Harry Potter is an instruction manual on magic. The reader is taken on the great successes that Tim Brown and colleagues have experienced with design thinking, barely digging into the methods used to reach those heights. It’s not really a ‘how’ design thinking transforms organizations and more like a ‘what happened’. Experience Engineering: Disneyland, WholeFoods are great at this- all the tiny nuances. Experience brands engage the customer at every possible opportunity (ex: Virgin America) EBOOK] Change by Design, Revised and Updated: How Design Thinking Transforms Organizations and Inspires Innovation Full BooksThe first half of the book has the meat the next half is related about politics of design in the organization or how to gather popular support for design thinking and rally your organization around it, which is quite tiring to read. The second half of the book also talks about sustainable design and design activism, the last chapter of the book is absolutely useless as it recalls all the previous chapters. CHANGE BY DESIGN initiatives are grounded in partnerships with local stakeholders, and utilise design and planning methods to support communities who have been marginalised, so that they can affect change in the cities where they live. I think IDEO may be one of the coolest companies around today and was hoping that reading Tim Brown's "Change by Design" would provide a technicolor version of not only numerous specific projects IDEO has undertaken, but how they do what they do. Unfortunately this book was disappointing which may be due to several things. Insight: observe actual experiences of real people improvising their way through daily life - hunt for "thoughtless acts" (actual behaviors and emergent behaviors)

Flash forward to the early days of 2019, when I have been tasked with leading a design-thinking workshop for university administrators who need, in effect, a whole lot of quarter-inch holes and are finding that their quarter-inch drill bits no longer work. A colleague recommended that I start with Tim Brown's Change by Design. I'm glad I did, and there are some good insights in the book. But I still don't have a better way to explain the whole concept of design thinking that is better than the quarter-inch hole analogy. those most exposed to changing externalities are best placed to respond & most motivated to do so: new tech, shifting consumer base, strategic threats The book adds little value to a seasoned designer, but it is useful for someone getting started in the discipline to organize their thoughts and carve out a path for them to follow. The subject of “design thinking” is the rage at business schools, throughout corporations, and increasingly in the popular press—due in large part to the work of IDEO, a leading design firm, and its celebrated CEO, Tim Brown, who uses this book to show how the techniques and strategies of design belong at every level of business.The myth of innovation is that brilliant ideas leap fully formed from the minds of geniuses. The reality is that most innovations come from a process of rigorous examination through which great ideas are identified and developed before being realized as new offerings and capabilities. Change by Design, Revised and Updated: How Design Thinking Transforms Organizations and Inspires Innovation pdfkey: what question are we answering? Shaping the right question is critical! Ex: Indian drinking water problem -- hosted competition for seed funding via Acumen Fund, pairing multiple disciplines and not just designers to think about design of business model, social marketing, in addition to product/tech. This is participation from local community too! Tim Brown has written the definitive book on design thinking. Brown’s wit, experience, and compelling stories create a delightful journey. His masterpiece captures the emotions, mindset, and methods required for designing everything from a product, to an experience, to a strategy in entirely different ways.” — Robert I. Sutton, author of The No Asshole Rule

Our author's personal "passionate movement" is about getting more people involved in design thinking and emphasizing its importance as a field. Faithful to this aim, Brown launched OpenIDEO, an online innovation platform that engages the global community to collaborate and develop solutions for the world's most challenging problems. The idea is to create a social impact, which is inspired by design thinking. during ideation we build many protos. As project advances, # of proto decreases but resolution of each hoes up. Next stage is implementation (pilot)

design thinking is rhythmic exchange between divergent and convergent phases, with each iteration phase less broad & more detailed

Second, and related to the above, felt like too much "intellectualizing" about the value of design thinking. Got it in the introduction and first chapter or two...no need to keep lecturing. Show us more specific examples. Brown offers a case study of how rapid prototyping can lead to faster, more accurate surgery. Baxano, an innovative medical company, enlisted IDEO to assist with developing a medical instrument to help surgeons perform spinal surgery in a safer, faster way. IDEO's challenge was to help Baxano design a surgical instrument that could make spinal surgery less demanding. While reconstructive spinal surgeries can be life-changing, even a minimally invasive spinal procedure puts patients under anesthetic for hours. This can be physically demanding for the surgeons and their team. The design team went through a 7-week rapid prototype process, worked with surgeons, and finally developed an implementable solution, the iO- Flex.There's a lot right with the book. As a practitioner, you are able to relate to the very real challenges of applying design thinking to transformation and the real life case stories are rewarding. The different chapters are thought through and explains the critical tenets of design thinking of human-centered approach, prototyping, divergence and design for 'Spaceship Earth'. Some of the examples relating to culture are bang-on especially the ability to let go and the culture for failures. The growing popularity of farmers’ markets, community-supported agriculture, the slow-food movement, and a burgeoning literature ranging from Michael Pollan’s In Defense of Food to Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, suggests that consumers crave a different experience of food shopping.
