As a way to reframe problems, ideate solutions, and iterate toward better answers, design thinking is already well established in the commercial world. Through ten stories of struggles and successes in fields such as health care, education, agriculture, transportation, social services, and security, the authors show how collaborative creativity can shake up even the most entrenched bureaucracies&#8211;and provide a practical roadmap for readers to implement these tools.<\/p>\n<p>The design thinkers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeanneliedtka.com\/\">Jeanne Liedtka<\/a>, Randy Salzman, and Daisy Azer explore how major agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services and the Transportation and Security Administration in the United States, as well as organizations in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, have instituted principles of design thinking. In each case, these groups have used the tools of design thinking to reduce risk, manage change, use resources more effectively, bridge the communication gap between parties, and manage the competing demands of diverse stakeholders. Along the way, they have improved the quality of their products and enhanced the experiences of those they serve. These strategies are accessible to analytical and creative types alike, and their benefits extend throughout an organization. This book will help today&#8217;s leaders and thinkers implement these practices in their own pursuit of creative solutions that are both innovative and achievable.<\/p>\n<p><em>Design Thinking for the Greater Good<\/em> will be published September 5, and is available for pre-order now from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Design-Thinking-Greater-Good-Innovation\/dp\/0231179529\/ref=sr_1_1_twi_har_2?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1500493481&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=design+thinking+for+the+greater+good\">Amazon<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/design-thinking-for-the-greater-good-jeanne-liedtka\/1126480727?ean=9780231179522\">Barnes &amp; Noble<\/a>, and your\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780231179522\">local bookstore<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Facing especially wicked problems, social sector organizations are searching for powerful new methods to understand and address them.\u00a0Design Thinking for the Greater Good\u00a0goes in depth on both the\u00a0how\u00a0of using new tools and the\u00a0why.
