Shaping the Future Through Design Thinking: A Leadership Perspective

Gerald Suarez, Associate Dean of External Strategy

When Einstein said, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them,” he laid the foundation for Design Thinking.

Design Thinking is a new way of solving problems and discovering opportunities. Unlike analytical thinking—the traditional approach to solving problems—Design Thinking is a process that emphasizes defining, creating, nurturing and questioning. Instead of producing one answer, there are several possible solutions. Instead of dictating through one voice, there are many called upon to integrate diverse perspectives and experiences into a shared holistic vision.

What is the value in Design Thinking for leadership, and how can you utilize Design Thinking fundamentals to make you a better leader? What are they ways that you can channel the principles into the workplace to inspire creative thinking, dialogue and teamwork?

Find out these insights and many others when associate dean and noted leadership lecturer Gerald Suarez presents “Shaping the Future Through Design Thinking: A Leadership Perspective.” Join past, present and future EMBA students for a special evening of stimulating ideas and exchange you won't find anywhere else.
