According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) UK productivity has fallen to levels it held in 2007. Productivity in the UK has consistently lagged well behind Germany and France and has now been overtaken by many other countries as this OECD chart shows. This is the key reason why wages, growth and competitive performance are all held back.

This is part two of my thoughts that came out of investigating and researching design thinking in the past couple of weeks. Part one is here. Within these two posts, I want to provide my thoughts, bridging the present and pointing towards a better design thinking future, one that in my opinion, is urgently needed. These two posts are not intended as a mapping of the present DT landscape, they are reflective posts coming from what I researched.

For the last few years a commercial has been running to advertise Dos Equis. In these commercials there's always some hyperbole (I know, who would of thunk it in a beer commercial) about a suave, sophisticated gentleman who can simultaneously drink Dos Equis and entertain heads of state. He is, we are constantly reminded, the most interesting man in the world.

Except that the prospect on this May morning with its ominous looking clouds was not so inviting – and so to prepare for the likely showers she took a heavy umbrella with her. She captured her frustration in her notebook - ‘Why on earth must I carry this utterly clumsy thing?

THE DISHARMONIUS GOOD INTENTIONS OF STAKEHOLDERS. Every nonprofit has them, mountains of well-meaning good ideas from passionate supporters, true believers, and entitled stakeholders. There’s just so darn many of them. Ideas AND supporters. Ignoring one mean can means losing the other (people leave when they feel they aren’t being listened to), but nonprofits just don’t have the time to give every idea the consideration it deserves.

The brain is your most powerful innovative tool. Are you a “right-brain” thinker or a “left-brain” thinker? The idea that certain hemispheres of the brain can be stronger in different people and lead to different styles of thought has lingered in our minds, and our approach to innovation, for decades. But the secret of innovation is that we can engage our mind on all levels, with creative analysis.

We were driving home from the store this weekend, and saw this huge tree that fell over from its base. It made me think of the phrase “too big to fail.” In this case, this huge tree must have been completely ready for failure , whether that was apparent to anyone or not. A similar phenomenon applies to brand strategy. You may think your brand is strong and ready to withstand anything that might come its way.
