  Change by Design - How Design...

  The subject of “design thinking” is the rage at business schools, throughout corporations, and increasingly in the popular press—due in large part to work of IDEO, a leading design firm, and its celebrated CEO, Tim Brown, who uses this book to show how the techniques and strategies of design belong at every level of business. 
   
  The myth of innovation is that brilliant ideas leap fully formed from the minds of geniuses. 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.  
  Change by Design 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.  
  Introduced 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.  
  Change by Design 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.

  Face it, if you’re human you probably struggle with time management, either most of the time or at least some of it. And it’s not enough to say, “Tomorrow I’ll manage my day better.” Mastering the clock takes forethought and effort—and it starts with a clear understanding of the gift of time in the first place. In Your Time, readers gain perspective on God’s blessing of time, where with each tick of the timer we move closer to eternity. 
  Lending masterly perspective that reads as flowingly as a conversation with a friend, author, businessman, and pastor Daniel W. Evans breaks down what’s really involved in learning to manage and spend our time with intentionality. From issues of time-control, tools to monitor time, setting priorities, investing time, and learning to give the gift of ours, Evans’ message is simple and direct: our earthly time is limited, and only God knows how much of the irreplaceable asset we have left. So we must invest it well! Because if we don’t decide how we’ll spend it, other people will. 
  Learn from the bite-sized wisdom of history’s brightest minds—philosophers, poets, world leaders, evangelists, and entrepreneurs, with a profound sense of its value. As Steve Jobs said, “It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.” 
  In this concise and compelling booklet—one that takes no more than a single sit-down to complete—the reader is invited to consider time from a Scriptural perspective. And they’re shown an easy formula to manage it, what Evans calls “the ABC’s of investing time.” 
  One critical takeaway: time is undoubtedly our greatest asset on planet Earth, a gift created by God. And with a little consideration and planning, we can learn to spend it wisely, give it away generously, and thrive.
