How can empathy, experimentation and storytelling help any team turn creative ideas into things people want?

At a glance

Author
Tom Kelley, Jonathan Littman

Why read it

  • You will pick up a habit of thinking in verbs, not nouns, when you shape a product or service
  • You will learn to treat prototyping as a habit of experimentation that moves an idea one step toward success
  • You will use deadlines as a friend that tells you when to stop polishing a prototype and ship

Who it is for

  • A product designer pushed to justify creative work to executives
  • A team leader who needs more ideas before a deadline
  • A manager bringing design thinking into a non design team
