In my opinion, having taken 2 design thinking courses for my Masters in Product Design: "Design Thinking" = Bullshit "Design" + "Thinking" = Designing using modern techniques and practices. You are better off paying attention to the specific techniques and practices than paying attention to the overall philosophy of "Design Thinking". Some of these techniques are very high leverage. - Learning how to do proper user interviews is really powerful and a very hard skill to master - Multidisciplinary groups for design sessions are very effective - Creating a positive, playful, open environment boosts creativity - Iteratively converging and diverging on the problem leads to non-trivial solutions
