    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.

    Plato is one of the towering figures in Western philosophy, whose works have significantly shaped the course of intellectual history. He was an Athenian philosopher during the Classical period in Ancient Greece, known for his dialogues, which form the foundation of Western philosophy and science. Plato’s philosophy was not just about abstract thought; it was deeply practical, aiming to guide human conduct and societal organization towards justice and virtue. His Academy continued to function for nearly a thousand years, illustrating the enduring legacy of his intellectual pursuits. 
    The Apology of Socrates is a philosophical text detailing the speech Socrates gives during his trial in 399 BC in Athens for charges of corrupting the youth and impiety (not believing in the gods of the state and introducing new deities). The Apology not only serves as a defense but also as a profound statement on living philosophically, the nature of wisdom, and the value of an examined life, even in the face of death. 
    Frank Marcopolos lives in Florida with his dog, Sparky.
