Solving Problems with Design Thinking by Jeanne Liedtka, Andrew King, Kevin Bennett

This is a useful book for managers which describes how they can apply design thinking to their work and inspire their employees.  It provides ten case studies of excellent design thinking. It isn't very helpful for self-employed people, although one can apply some of the principles.

I found this book extremely dry, so I didn't finish it.  However, I enjoyed the story of the Suncorp merger with CGI Insurance and I liked reading about some of the tools of design thinking, such as mind-mapping, posters and metaphors.
