The IC4D blog explores the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on development, both directly and as an enabler for other sectors of the economy. It is a space to share ideas and experiences, and to inspire dialogue on new and innovative ways in which ICT can create opportunities in developing countries.

re: Design Thinking

Dear Yuki,

Congratulations! I am sure such a course will open many opportunities to create new and better services at your office.

If you are interested in reading material, I recommend the following books:

- Tim Brown, "Change by Design: How Design Thinking Transforms Organizations and Inspires Innovation", HarperCollins, 2009
- Roger Martin, "The Design of Business", Harvard Business Press, 2009
- Thomas Lockwood (editor), "Design Thinking", Allworth Press, 2009

Here is another book I've seen but haven't gone through:
- Roberto Verganti, "Design-driven innovation", Harvard Business Press, 2009

Note that all these books have been published last year...

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Regards,

amk
