Design Thinking is a methodology used increasingly by business organisations to solve complex problems, and find desirable solutions for their clients. It is data-driven and draws upon logic, imagination, intuition, and systemic reasoning, to explore possibilities of what could be, and to create desired outcomes that benefit the user (client/customer).

Top global companies have been using Design Thinking techniques for years to innovate and put themselves ahead of the competition. Companies such as Apple, Disney, P&G, and Netflix are reportedly doing 211% better on the S&P compared to companies who are not using Design Thinking.
