I got a question about design thinking: I recently discussed this with a couple of people and we came to the conclusion that design thinking does not really produce innovations. Obviously you think otherwise. Could you elaborate your view point? Do you have any example where the application of design thinking brought forward an innovation? Innovation being defined as something "new to the world". Thanks for your comments Andrew.

Innovation isn't event based, and it isn't the work of a task force, but these are extremely useful in demonstrating the commitment to innovation and related behaviours, as well as helping to build a competence in Design Thinking methodology. Dan Pink might challenge rewards - at least the current standard of financial rewards - as an effective means to drive innovation, according to his newest book http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/96150.Daniel_H_Pink Thanks, Andrew Hi Marc,

We help drive innovation beginning with the catalyst of “Innovation Boot Camps” – focused events applying Design Thinking techniques.

Innovation isn’t event based, and it isn’t the work of a task force, but these are extremely useful in demonstrating the commitment to innovation and related behaviours, as well as helping to build a competence in Design Thinking methodology.
