Design Thinking, as seen on the cover of publications such as Harvard Business Review and Forbes and practiced by some of the world’s most successful organisations is used by designers to solve complex problems, and find desirable solutions. The methodology can be applied by anyone to any situation.
Graeme gave a brief overview of his journey into Design Thinking while members of the local business community looked on. In attendance was David Schloeffel, national designer advisor with the Federal Government Business Support Initiative -Entrepreneurs program, a lecturer at RMIT Masters program, and co-author of “designing your business to win” and many other published works.
David has previously described Graeme’s affiliation with and natural talent in Design Thinking in the following words:
“Graeme has a natural feel for design iteration – it’s just part of him. He could never really articulate what “it” was – he just knew he had it and when he utilised it clients loved the work and got results.... Yet he still couldn’t put his finger on “it”. That all changed a while ago when he was introduced to the Design Integration Program and the Simon Sinek video. It was like a cloud was lifted and Graeme could see and understand what the basis of “it” was – design thinking... Graeme is uniquely placed through his background and his style to totally reposition design as not only accessible to everyman, but as a vital part of a successful (business) life.”
