The popular methodology isn’t equipped to solve the complexities of the current world.
If you’ve been in business or innovation circles in the past ten years, chances are you have experimented with design thinking. You have gone through the brainstorming sessions, you have done the crazy 8’s; and you have prototyped your ideas on cardboard.
THE Gladiators semi-final turned nasty tonight as two of the show’s stars turned on one another and had to be held apart.
The BBC series aired one of it’s most drama-filled episodes yet as four contestants fought it out for the last two spots in next week’s final.

But as the two men and two women went head-to-head in a friendly rivalry, the same could not be said for the Gladiators themselves.
After a round of Gauntlet, hosts Barney and Bradley Walsh spoke to the male Gladiators about their performance.
Legend, who has no qualms about rating his abilities above his team mates, pulled no punches in his reply.
He told Bradley: “Listen, there’s only so much I can do by myself.
“They say team work makes the dream work. Wrong. I make the dream work. I am the dream.”
But his words did not go down well with Viper, who is known for saying very little and grunting and ripping up fans’ signs instead.
He grabbed the mic from Legend and said: “Shut your hole, you donkey.”
He then turned to walk away but Legend stuck his foot out and tripped him up.
Viper was furious and lunged at his colleague, causing the other Gladiators and referees to step in and grappled to keep the two men apart.
Gladiators viewers found the dramatic moment hilarious though, with one writing on X: “Legend done viper like a kipper! That trip was comic gold!”
Another added: “As fake as that fight was between Legend and Viper I absolutely bloody loved it.”
A third tweeted: “Oh my god-Legend and Viperare brawling!”
Meanwhile a fourth commented: “That’s the most Viper’s ever said!”
