In order to keep up with the world’s changing business landscape and innovative achievements, corporate companies are looking to hire people with t-shaped skills — those who are comfortable with complexity and uncertainty and can connect with the customer culture of their employers. This thesis examines how design thinking and the schools that teach it, are influencing a new generation of creative thinkers, managers and designers. In contrast to the traditional inductive left-brain way of thinking, schools and corporations are finally embracing the abductive right-brain approach to problem solving employed by designers and and design firms.
