One myth of innovation is that brilliant solutions leap fully formed from the minds of geniuses. In reality, we don't simply realize solutions; we design them. Design thinking is now being applied to address a wide range of concerns, from delivering clean drinking water to improving airport security and microfinancing. IDEO is a leading design firm that has introduced us to ‘design thinking'. Can we use this approach to find creative solutions and to discover new alternatives for business and society as a whole? Come find out.

  • Even when I was a member of the Common Wealth Club, getting tickets for any event was almost impossible. If it's not already sold out, I'll be there!
