En résumé
Today innovation is everyone's business. Whether you are a manager in a global corporation, an entrepreneur starting up, in a government role, or a teacher in an elementary school, everyone is expected to get lean – to do better with less.

We also look at several stories from different organizations that used design thinking to uncover compelling solutions.
