Het heeft even geduurd maar dit is weer een heerlijk Giph boek. Wat is dan een Giph boek:

  • Laat zich lezen als een sneltrein
  • Contact met de Giph in het boek.
  • Een vleugje brutaal
  • Scherpe opmerkingen

There are many praises for this book and I could not agree any more.
It gives you insight on behavioural aspects that may occur as normal but are in fact old-fashioned.

how design thinking can transform organizations and inspire innovation

Change by design

In “Change by Design” Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO, shows us what the concept of design thinking is. In the first section he explains the principles which gives you a good impression of field of design thinking. However the rest of the book is full with examples in which he was able to apply design thinking. He tops it of in the last section with a lecture of global issues that need to be addressed.

I would have liked to get more information on a how-to apply design thinking, best practices, do’s and don’ts.. instead of the huge quantity of examples.

Bottom line: A book worth reading, but also a book that has space for improvement

Nice little book with tips and tricks. It would have been nice to have a small summary at the end of the book without having to figure out what the title of a chapter is referring to.
Very helpful but I would not call on of the best management books though…
