You’ve probably heard of “design thinking,” the process for solving problems using the out-of-the-box methods that designers use.

So how can thinking like a designer help you create better products, better services, and better solutions? David Schonthal, a clinical associate professor at Kellogg and senior director at design firm IDEO, is eager to tell you.

On this episode of the podcast, Schonthal shares three basic steps that can empower anybody to harness their inner designer and get results.
