Plenary II: Design Thinking, Kenichi Nonomura, Director, Business Design and Development, IDEO Tokyo


Today's plenary session was held by Kenichi Nonomura, Director of Business Design and Development of IDEO, the world's leading design company, and a session was held with the theme of Design Thinking.

Kenichi’s theme was “Design Thinking for Your Students, Your Team and You”. This session explored methods of stimulating creativity to prepare ourselves and our students to keep pace with the constant change around us and create greater impact.

Some of the world’s leading brands, such as Apple, Google, Samsung and GE, have rapidly adopted the Design Thinking approach, and Design Thinking is being taught at leading universities around the world, including Stanford, Harvard and MIT. This was a great topic for discussion and one that I am sure everyone learned from.
