• Feasibility is about Technology, the possibilities of technology
• Viability is about Business, the requirements for business success
• Desirability is about People, integrate the needs of people

[Tim Brown, CEO, IDEO]

Design Thinking is an idea, a strategy, a method and a way of seeing the world. This human-centered design approach enables problem-solving through creativity, thus transforming the way companies develop products, services, processes, and strategies. At the intersection of Technology, Business and People, lies Innovation.
