What is Design Thinking? 10 Ideas To Consider

Browsing on the Design Thinking Exchange, I found a list of 7 explanations of Design Thinking. I took the liberty of adjusting them with my editorial red marker (shown in CAPS for visual speed in identifying my own thoughts). I also added 3 more for an even 10. Please get out your best copy editing tools, and comment or re-word my "clarifications" below. I'll follow up with a post amending these with your best ideas.

4. ASSOCIATES, Interprets and displays data, information and knowledge generated through Integrative Thinking.
5. Designs BUSINESS, PRODUCT AND TECHNOLOGY platforms that allow for the creation of contextual clarity between left and right brain thinking. The results generate communal sense-making.
