Recommendation

Take a seat in the virtual lecture hall of Stanford professor Banny Banerjee. A co-creator of design thinking, Banerjee explains that although its human-centered approach is ideal for some problems, other issues are vast, intertwined, urgent and complex: Think poverty or food and energy shortages. Such systemic problems call for a new innovation method and mind-set. getAbstract believes leaders, designers, policy makers and anyone pitted against a massive problem will benefit from this cerebral plunge into “systems leadership.”

Take-Aways

  • Problems that are “scaled, complex, urgent, integrated, nonlinear, critical” and “insidious” require thinkers and problem solvers to shed their conditioning, embrace a new methodology and adopt a mind-set that targets the “seemingly impossible.”
  • Design thinking can discover and meet unspoken human needs, but this approach can’t solve systemic challenges.
  • Solutions to systemic problems must acknowledge the system, scale, time or urgency, and nonlinearity.
