Nowadays Design Thinking is widely used not only as a creative method but also quite often as a buzzword. There are many different views about it, whether Design Thinking is a holistic concept of design learning, or is it a multidisciplinary concept which aims to deliver a special methodology for interdisciplinary creative work. Or maybe is it something else? All those provocative questions will be looked at from the non-designer point of view.
