==========================================================
Synopsis:

What do design thinking, systems thinking and lean thinking have in common? They all require thinking!! We'll venture beyond the obvious and examine their similarities and differences, and perhaps most importantly, their symbiotic and synergistic relationship. It is possible to apply the thinking or only one of the areas, but that limits us to one dimensional thinking. In modern application, system, technical and non-technical product development, we are better off thinking three dimensionally. Some recent discussions I have observed suggest that these three "thinking hats" compete with each other, but that is a misconception. We'll examine how all three come together to create an environment that forms the foundation of being agile. When we finish, I hope you have an appreciation how the three areas can be combined to provide a solid basis for solving wicked problems.
