Design thinking provides the tools for creative, human-centered problem solving that allows you to collaborate across disciplines and tackle big challenges. Many news organizations use design thinking to understand the needs of the audience (empathize), frame problems as opportunities for creative solutions (define), generate a range of possible solutions (ideate), communicatie the core elements of solutions (prototype) and learning what works and what doesn't (test). See how design thinking can change your approach to work.
