When we think about design thinking, we think about those 4 pillars…
-Positioning the user at the center.
-Embracing innovative and disruptive ideas
-Connecting technologies and drives the path to execution
-Envisioning the outcome of the integrated experience

Although Design is most often used to describe an object or end result, to me, design in its most effective form is a process, an action, a verb not a noun.

Thinking of it as a process to approach challenges.
