What happens when empathy fails to fix the world? 🤔 I wrote about how Design Thinking practices are evolving today for MIT Tech Review. https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/02/09/1067821/design-thinking-retrospective-what-went-wrong/
Design thinking was supposed to fix the world. Where did it go wrong?

An approach that promised to democratize design may have done the opposite.

@rebackermann Very much enjoyed your article, very well done. Your piece really resonates with some of the discussions I'm having in a PhD seminar with Richard Buchanan at the moment on design thinking and social system design; we have really lost the thread in the practitioner space.
