Design Thinking Club
What is Design Thinking?
Design thinking is used to identify obstacles that hinder growth and reframe these problems through creative and effective solutions. It’s extremely useful in tackling complex problems that are ill-defined or unknown, and is applicable no matter your industry or role.
At Babson, we are keen to cultivate the design thinking method into our daily lives. As entrepreneurs of all kinds, we believe that implementing design thinking can really help us come up with not just great business ideas, but more human-centered, sustainable solutions.
Club Mission/Vision:
The mission of Babson Design Thinking Club is to help students inculcate design thinking into entrepreneurial thought processes (Babson's ET&A).
Through multiple events (company challenges, treks/ visits, idea competitions), we intend to create a strong culture for collaboration at Babson; for the purpose of networking, business transformation, idea generation and perspective widening. We believe design works hand-in-hand with entrepreneurship and that every student must have the privilege of experiencing it.
