Whenever i read one of the plethora of IDEO design thinking books it confirms a lot of what i really believe and try to do. However they express the ideas, methods and challenges so succinctly that it becomes a really useful resource to stripping back methods to their original aims. What i would like to see in IDEO books is more attention to how to slowly infuse your design practice with design thinking/human centred methods, rather than take on a whole new approach over night. It tends to be an unpopular direction to head with managers, purely because of the money and time spent on projects (even if there is end result of innovation). Perhaps its more to do with changing the attitude of those calling the shots..... but how to start i havent read this book, but will try to soon.

Its superb and a very good observation. As always, IDEO comes out with the best stuff. :) I'd recommend everyone to get one for keeps. Whether you're a designer or not.
