The reality is that most innovations come from a process of rigorous examination through which great ideas are identified and developed before being realized as new offerings and capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChange by Design\u003c\/em\u003e explains design thinking, the collaborative process by which the designer’s sensibilities and methods are employed to match people’s needs, not only with what is technically feasible, but what is viable to the bottom line. Design thinking converts need into demand. It’s a human-centered approach to problem solving that helps people and organizations become more innovative and more creative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduced a decade ago, the concept of design thinking remains popular at business schools, throughout corporations, and increasingly in the popular press—due in large part to work of IDEO, the undisputed world leading strategy, innovation, and design firm headed by Tim Brown. As he makes clear in this visionary guide—now updated with addition material, including new case studies, and a new introduction—design thinking is not just applicable to so-called creative industries or people who work in the design field. It’s a methodology that has been used by organizations such as Kaiser Permanente, to increase the quality of patient care by re-examining the ways that their nurses manage shift change, or Kraft, to rethink supply chain management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChange by Design\u003c\/em\u003e is not a book by designers for designers; it is a book for creative leaders seeking to infuse design thinking into every level of an organization, product, or service to drive new alternatives for business and society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56222349295989,"sku":"9780062856623","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780062856623_335ab730-81fe-4a6e-afae-692b004bdc77.jpg?v=1786011186"},{"product_id":"9781398117464","title":"London's Transport in the 1980s","description":"\u003cp\u003ePublic transport in London in the 1980s presented a very different face to today. London Regional Transport still oversaw much of the public transport network, before Transport for London took over in 2000, while the national rail network in the capital was in the early years of privatisation. Routemaster buses still plied the streets and many of today’s major transport infrastructure projects were yet to be built. London’s Transport in the 1980s presents a portrait of public transport in the capital in this decade of change showing the variety of vehicles on the scene, the early years of the Docklands Light Railway and Thameslink, major stations such as Liverpool Street and King’s Cross before they were rebuilt, old goods yards, the rail network around Croydon before Tramlink was built, historic transport infrastructure that had survived from previous decades and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an array of previously unpublished photographs, Tim Brown presents a fascinating overview of the transport scene in London in this era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56298443702645,"sku":"9781398117464","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781398117464_8116d672-a4af-41b0-b0da-b6b6988fe0bd.jpg?v=1786018082"},{"product_id":"9781647820985","title":"HBR's 10 Must Reads on Change Management, Vol. 2 (with bonus article \"Accelerate!\" by John P.
