Main objective

The objective is to bring together a group of companies interested in exchanging views on recent developments in Design Thinking, bringing together the potential but also the weak points of this approach to become a strong and updated reference point for all Design Thinkers. The results of the research carried out by the School of Management of the Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with the Design Department and PoliHub will be useful to all innovation and design leaders.

Main activities

The Observatory Design Thinking for Business 2021/22 develops several initiatives in order to present research results and expand the Design Thinkers Community:

Three different formats characterize the 6th year initiatives: Clubs, Jams and Labs;
Build a compass that merging Cognitive Practices and Making Capabilities enables firms in fostering innovation through Design Thinking;
Developing Booklets and Reports showing the research results;
During the research year, disseminate partial research results through webinars and articles.
