Description: Exposing the Magic of Design : A Practitioner's Guide to the Methods and Theory of Synthesis, Paperback by Kolko, Jon; Johnson, Beth (CON); Ericson, Gianna Marzilli (CON); Gould, Paul (CON); Murray, Colleen (CON), ISBN 0190276215, ISBN-13 9780190276218, Brand New, Free shipping in the US As the world grows increasingly complex--in issues of sustainability, culture, and technology--businesses and governments are searching for a form of problem solving that can effectively respond to unprecedented levels of ambiguity and disorder. Traditional "linear thinking" has been
disparaged by the popular media as being inadequate for dealing with the global economic crisis. Traditional forms of marketing and product development have been rejected by businesses that need to find new ways of staying competitive in a global economy. Yet little has been offered as an
alternative. It is not enough to demand that someone "be more innovative" without offering the tools to succeed.
This book offers a way of thinking about complicated, multifaceted problems with a repeatable degree of success. Design synthesis methods can be applied in business to produce new and compelling products and services, or these methods can be applied in government with the goal of changing culture
and bettering society. In both contexts, there is a need for timely and aggressive action. This text is intended to act as a practitioners guide to using the magic of design to solve complex problems.
