Designing for Vital Challenges

Description:

Companies across every industry are tasked with solving vital challenges – but where do you begin the problem-solving process? Devising an air-ventilation system to protect artwork like Michelangelo’s frescoes in the Sistine Chapel and determining how best to direct the flow of some 3 million pilgrims on the Hajj are obstacles real teams face. Through the lens of design-thinking, the process begins with clearly identifying the many components of the problem and then turning those challenges into opportunities. Applying an integrated approach to problem-solving, scientists, engineers and designers have developed innovative solutions to tackling the world’s toughest challenges.
