Abstract

Design thinking is often misconceived as a competency that a person or organization either has or does not have. This is problematic because that perspective can lead to an incorrect assumption that design thinking is uniformly applied at the same level by anyone who knows it. This chapter describes design thinking as a practice that can range greatly depending on context. It outlines a series of measures developed to highlight both different aspects of design thinking and how those aspects can vary. These measures provide a more detailed assessment of what is necessary to successfully apply design thinking.
