There hasn’t been a design topic in the past decade as extensively discussed in the scientific and business world as design thinking has been. Although difficult to define, it is not only an important aspect of design, but it also has some impact for the current business world, given that management schools have started to include the concept of design thinking in their educational curricula.
The research in this paper is based on a theoretical and practical approach to the concept of Design Thinking, its background, characteristics, process models and toolkit. Alongside the literature review, a qualitative analysis of five well-known models of the Design Thinking process and of ten of the most applied DT tools is made. The paper provides a critical approach to Design Thinking to help the innovation management community to understand better the potential the concept has for implementing and developing creative thinking in business, and in society in general. By describing in a synthetic way the evolution and key elements of the DT concept and its toolkit, the study contributes to the current literature in innovation management, and also provides practical advice.
