review 1: The first half of this book is a repeat of other books I've read on Design Thinking and what is in Creative Confidence by Tom and David Kelley (which I highly recommend). But the second half actually gives a lot of good ideas on how to structure your company to use design thinking. The big take-a-ways for me were that a culture is critical. Everyone needs to be positive and accepting of risks and changes. If you have a synical culture then you will see ideas wither away.
review 2: A selection of the Engineers Book Club at work.I can't recommend this book to the general interest reader. While I did learn from some of his concrete examples, overall I found Tim Brown to be quite self-congratulatory and smug, with a tendency to lapse into vague consultant-speak. I ... moretried to be a good sport for the first 60% or so, but the book really did become staggeringly tedious to read after that. Looking forward to the discussion group. less
