In a complex global economy, leaders must be creative, adaptive and have a capacity for continuous innovation. All along the value chain, design thinking methods can be applied to problem solving to deliver more effective, transformational and innovative solutions that can directly impact a business in meaningful ways. We call the combination of design thinking and business logic Design Intelligence.

The Beyond Design Thinking event will feature a workshop on trend forecasting, followed by a panel discussion on Design Intelligence. The event will conclude with cocktails and a presentation of a diverse selection of projects by graduate students in Parsons’ MS Strategic Design and Management program.
