I like the idea you highlighted that people take the mindset and tools of design thinking to perform their jobs in new and more informed ways. I’ve certainly used what I’ve learned to do my other jobs of creating content, marketing, and selling.
When it comes to creating new / innovative solutions, which should be a team sport, I hope that design thinking provides people in HR, legal, finance, etc with a different lens to work with their designer, engineering, product, sales, etc counterparts.
