Description
This research investigates how employees at multiple levels of a large financial services corporation, become aware of, and recognise the possibilities of design thinking and its potential link to drive innovative practices. The aim is to understand how employees, without a background in design, view design and innovation, how design thinking is being employed and the relationship of design thinking to innovation. Recommendations are provided for large organisations seeking to use design thinking methodology to deliver human centric solutions for their customers and achieve genuine transformative innovation. Implications of this research include key insights for industry, large organisations and practitioners.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
