Think Like a Designer

by David Meyer

Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, co-directors of the Stanford Life Design Lab, run down how designers approach problems and how you can get more out of work and life by using a designer’s mind-set.

Design thinkers start out curious, keep open, flexible minds, try out different solutions to see what happens and learn from their mistakes. They seek solutions to solve short- and long-term problems simultaneously. If you feel stuck at your job, designers Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, co-directors of the Stanford Life Design Lab, offer designer-minded steps to first change your attitude, then your results.

The authors detail the specific approach designers take to problem-solving. Not every exercise will apply to you, but they offer a sound resource for improving your work life.
