DTCampHH 2013: Apple does not do Design Thinking
A quick comparison between Design Thinking Principles (/via DTCamp photo gallery) and Apple reveals:
| Design Thinking | Apple |
|---|---|
| Fail early and often | …but just internally. |
| Leave titles at the door | Do not come in if you do not contribute to the meeting. |
| There are no good ideas | Either it sucks or it is insanely great. |
| Do! Don't talk. | |
| Build on ideas of others | Yes, but turn them into something insanely great. |
| The quantity is it. | The quality is it. |
| Avoid criticism. | "This is shit" |
| Stay focussed. | Stay hungry. |
| Dare to be wild! | Stay foolish. |
| Think human centered. | Think details oriented. |
| Be visual. | |
| Let's have Fun. | Never take the same elevator with Steve. You might get fired. |
voilá: Apple does not do Design Thinking. Nonetheless, Apple products are still best of breed. /via
With this table, I just wanted to put things into perspective. Neither Design Thinking nor Apple's is the right way. It is always negotiating and building a corporate or team culture with people. For instance, nobody does SCRUM by the book. I suspect that Design Thinking has several flavors as well. And nobody will be successful by simply copying certain attitudes from Apple.
