Stanford d.school bootleg

Check this out —  It’s the d.school bootcamp bootleg.   This compilation is intended as an active toolkit to support your design thinking practice.  The guide is not just to read – go out in the world and try these tools yourself.  In the following pages, we outline each mode of a humancentered design process, and then describe dozens of specific methods to do design work.  These process modes and methods provide a tangible toolkit which support the seven mindsets — shown on the following page – that are vital attitudes for a design thinker to hold.   Download BootcampBootleg2010v2SLIM

The author argues that the emerging discipline of Business Design requires a particular combination of mindsets, methods and thinking skills that exercise the whole brain' and help develop a well-rounded capacity for agile thinking and adaptive doing.
