Why is Design Thinking important?

Design thinking has been used to solve business problems at companies like Toyota, Intuit, SAP, and IBM. One reason for the proliferation of design thinking in industries is that it's useful to break down problems in any complex system, be it business, government, or social organizations.

According to data from Emsi Burning Glass, job postings requiring design thinking skills significantly increased from December 2020 to December 2021. Not only are there more jobs requiring design thinking skills, but those that do, offer higher average salaries than those that donā€™t.
