Design Thinking? Be Bold, get Radical
summary
Argues that design thinking is a mindset for everyone not a rigid process, and the useful tactics are concrete: start pen and paper sketches, use Sketch/Photoshop/After Effects and quick prototyping tools (InVision, Notability), build tangible artifacts first to “build to think,” run short expert reviews instead of months of research, and favor rapid validation over bloated reports. Notes everyone now practices design thinking so the edge comes from being radical: bespoke frameworks, early-morning workshops, micro-wins and faster cycles to actually ship solutions.
