TEI 171: How any organization can leverage Design Thinking to produce change

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next
episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister,
PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation
and managing products become more successful, grow their careers,
and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: Organizations are
striving to get better at innovation. They know their competitors
are doing the same. However, not everyone is having success with
their efforts. One more recent popular approach is using Design
Thinking, but like any innovation approach, it has to be properly
integrated into the organization or it won’t have the desired
impact. A new book addresses this, titled Innovation by Design: How
Any Organization Can Leverage Design Thinking to Produce Change,
Drive New Ideas, and Deliver Meaningful Solutions. I
interviewed both authors to find out more. Thomas Lockwood has a
Ph.D. in design management and is a thought leader at integrating
design and innovation into business. Edgar Papke is a leadership
psychologist, author and recognized expert in business alignment,
leadership and organizational culture. They decided to find out
what highly innovative companies that were significantly utilizing
design thinking were up to, and if what they were doing would
provide valuable insight into how any organization can use design
thinking to produce change, drive new ideas, deliver meaningful
solutions, and influence their culture to be more innovative.
