Innovation through design thinking

The speech was about "Design Thinking" and how it goes hand and hand with innovation. Design thinking is coming up with new strategies that set your company or organization apart from the rest of your competitors. It is connecting your design or innovation to your customers demands. Design thinking can be partnerships with other networks to help in the innovation process. Design thinking can be the stories that customers or society have about anything that could inspire the idea process. It's about knowing your role you play in the innovation process, and being inspired about getting your ideas or stories converted into real innovation projects. Knowledge management supports in this area by giving design thinkers access to easily express their idea's freely. This can be through collaboration, social networks, organizational social networks, as well as consumer feedback blogs. Knowledge management can be used in such a way to where it helps facilitate innovation from the design stage, through implementation.
