GIBS Design Thinking Forum 2016

Part of the panel at The Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) forum on Design Thinking. Presented on the theory and practice of Design Thinking based on my experiences.

We discussed how design thinking leads to faster time to market, quicker decisions, lower project costs and less re-work. This new way of thinking is transforming the way people do business and driving innovative solutions that people love. This forum also explored Drive Breakthrough Thinking which gives employees the freedom and the structure to identify challenges, develop concepts, test prototypes and implement finished solutions​​​​.
