I've been developing a class that works within the design thinking framework for almost 15 years. It's been slow, but we're constantly evolving and tweaking the curriculum. In so far as Design Thinking goes, I found this website almost 7 years ago: http://www.idesignthinking.com/07theory/01theory.html The breakdown to IDEO's tookit is incredibly similar. I thought it might help some people extend their thinking by seeing another perspective on this type of productive thought. I’m stoked that IDEO has put this together.

This just comes right in time to solve some methodology angles we were not sure about! THANKS A LOT! Ben, found your Imagine.create.share outline as well. We came up with English version Know it-create it-do it.

It's great that you're truly disseminating design thinking, and shedding design's old-world "snooty" connotation. Thank you Ideo!
