Design mindset is seen as a toolbox since
it applies various techniques and methods
from different disciplines like psychology,
engineering, and informatics (Carlgren,
Rauth, & Elmquist, 2016).
In the contemporary business
environment, it is worthwhile developing
the competitive edge and as
Carlgren ,Rauth, & Elmquist point out,
this can easily be achieved through a
systematic design thinking procedure.
There is the need to understand, visualize,
accelerate, and adapt to evolving
circumstances.
Design mindset in the context of
innovation is simply a process of
developing new ideas, products ,
services , processes, technologies, and
changes that lead to growth and
differentiation.
