A practical guide to using design thinking to navigate complexity, drive innovation and create human-centred transformation across organisations.
Design Thinking for Business and Management    by     Dr Mersha Afta     explores how design thinking can be used as a strategic capability to address complex challenges, foster innovation and enable organisational and digital transformation.

With a foreword by Dr. David Hands,     Design Thinking for Business and Management    positions design thinking not simply as a problem-solving process, but as a way of thinking, leading and responding to change.
