The Design Thinking Mindset: How to Access the Power of Innovation

Written by Darin Eich

Narrated by Andrew W. Potter

How often have you come across a major challenge in your daily life, worked hard to overcome it, and thought, “There must be a better way”? That frustration is the first spark of innovation — the process that has changed the way we communicate, get around, and spend our free time. As humans, we all want to make things better. But how?
This is where design thinking, the process of understanding complex challenges and coming up with innovative solutions, comes into play. In The Design Thinking Mindset, an audio course from Scribd Coach, design thinking expert Dr. Darin Eich explains how we can all get into the design thinking frame of mind to solve problems great and small in our own lives. In the course, Eich explains what design thinking entails, how to think like an innovator, and how to use his “CIA framework” — challenge, idea, and action — to tap into the power of innovation. He also shares exercises along the way to help you apply what you’ve learned immediately, as well as supplementary materials at InnovationTraining.org/audiocourse.
You have what it takes to become an innovator — it’s all in your head. Darin Eich is here to help you access that limitless potential.

Reviews for The Design Thinking Mindset

[Roger Osorio · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A very approachable framework and introduction to design thinking. What I loved most was how practical it is for someone who doesn't consider himself a "design thinker." I recommend this for anyone who isn't in innovation day to day but needs to build and develop this skill to succeed in their role.

Darin Eich's "The Design Thinking Mindset" is like a compass for innovation enthusiasts like me. It doesn't just talk about Design Thinking; it takes you on a practical journey. The Challenge-Idea-Action framework, which centers on empathy, is a game-changer in our user-focused world, sparking the creative flame needed for innovation.

But what really stands out is Eich's integration of the growth mindset. It's not just theory; it's a call to action for continuous improvement. I can't wait to use the actionable tools from this book in my upcoming workshops. It's a treasure trove of insights and strategies for anyone passionate about making a positive impact through innovation.

Bad Level of Volume. I Must have the speaker's phone close to may ears to listen the voice of the narrative.
