Get beyond the silos 并利用 design thinking as a common language.
Gain the consensus to break the inertia.
When should you use design thinking? When you have a wicked problem.
What is a wicked problem? A wicked problem is one that is ill-defined 和/or extends beyond the core competency of your organization. An ill-defined problem exists when both the problem itself 和 solutions are unknown. A large part of the problem-solving lies in defining the problem. A problem that extends outside of the typical competency of your organization can be risky to solve. It requires you to think in new ways 和 to be a visionary.
