  What is design thinking? More than a 
  methodology or framework, design thinking 
  combines the problem-solving roots of design 
  with deep empathy for the user. The design 
  thinking-based framework popularized by the 
  Stanford d.school can help your team take 
  on the thorniest challenges with insightful 
  solutions.
  In this guide, you’ll learn how to put design 
  thinking into practice in your organization.
