Design Thinking as a process from present state to desired state as considered by Stefan Sagmeister.

Design Thinking often works to deliver predetermined outcomes and as an general operating principle it should also directly or indirectly stimulate the design of emergent value within a system, the apex of such value is the natural emergence of unity.
Design Thinking comprehends using concepts in a two step process: the first step is to recognize that concepts of a higher level than people already have cannot be understood through a definition alone, but rather only through a collection of examples; and the second step is to recognize that in most theories and fields of discipline the examples that are most often used are other concepts, hence we need to repeat step one.
Tiny, why are you hanging upside down on the clothes line?
... I made a sun catcher, Palo ...
Why?
... so I can catch some of the sun and send it to those who are missing it today ... see how much yellow goodness I have already captured, and the blood hasn't even rushed to my head yet! ...

Design Thinking speaks both the language of strategic thinking and the language of creative thinking.
Design Thinking should remind us to shift our focus of attention towards new directions in the design of systems.
Design Thinking works to create concept-nets (schema) through the process of at least two levels of abstraction; this first level of abstraction is when we move from the level of specific examples (three or more) to the level of our first common concept, which in turn allows us to gather many additional ideas beneath this extracted concept; the second level of abstraction is when we move from a collection of common concepts (each formed from a collection of specific ideas) to a higher level of a meta-concept, which in turn allows us to gather many additional concepts and it is here at this second level of abstraction that we can give a name to the concept net.

Studio 26, creative thinking. An apple, a hat, a book were my assigned objects, but nobody said they had to be a major player in the end result...
The 'sun' is a flash positioned outside in our garden, extended up on a tripod to nearly hit the roof (1.5 stories). Fortunately it wasn't windy today. (And I should also mention that while M has a lot of clothes, she takes five minutes to get dressed in the morning!)
Design Thinking needs to create a new visual vocabulary that captures, without limiting or tying down, concepts and their relationships.
Design Thinking uses timelines to anchor the past and present, and then it leaps forward in time by creating ‘what is not there, yet’ that is often expressed in future scenarios.
Design Thinking embraces the fully value of a concept-net with the ability to step up in levels of abstraction by up-chunking and to step down in levels of specification by down-chunking.
Design Thinking strives to keep unity as a central operating concept around which forces of change blow and try to influence our actions.
Design Thinking often lives in the space of ‘problem solving’ and it strives to live in the space of ‘opportunity seeking’.
Design Thinking, using the laws of cause and effect, can indirectly create timelines by linking anchored and established concepts to one another.
Design Thinking uses the natural space of human possibilities as a foundation to lead into uncertain and uncharted landscapes of new value.

Design Thinking follows nature’s laws in growth and development, where we should always have development but not necessarily growth.
Design Thinking is meta-thinking that highlights patterns so be challenged and ultimately repeatedly reconstructed.
Center of Gravity – A Memoir by Geva Salerno
The world’s problems require new thinking and new solutions. Wars, famine, unequal distribution of resources, the destruction of the environment… these issues call for cooperation, intuition and networking. Women have unique skills and gifts to apply to solving these problems. However, today’s woman is caught up in yesterday’s mental programming. Despite all the gains of the feminist movement, women still continue to judge success based on values of the fifties: finding a man, marriage and creating a family above all else. However, the single-minded pursuit of these goals can actually get in the way of a truly satisfying life and prevent a woman from making her mark in the world. This book argues that all women should take time out to learn who they really are and what they have to offer the world.
“The Runway” is an excerpt from the memoir Center of Gravity
Geva Salerno is a businesswoman who embarks on a year-long experiment designed to step outside her preconceived ideas about life, in order to reclaim her true self. After finding herself over-worked, divorced and obsessed with achieving society’s vision of the perfect life, Geva gives up dating for a one-year period…no more online dating, no more blind dates and no more thinking about men. Set in southwest Florida in 2011 and 2012, the story is the true account of how a woman re-created her life step by step.
As she begins the process of dismantling her false life and slowly building an authentic, creative and fulfilling one, Geva brings to life long-forgotten dreams and aspirations and begins to take risks. But, as she begins to re-discover her true self, she also discovers her true voice. Her family must learn to adapt to this “new Geva” as she begins to carve out a new place for herself in her family of origin.
She must also find a new, healthier relationship to work, which forces her to examine her real monetary needs and how she spends her time. As her old life unravels, Geva must simultaneously create a new one and be open to what the new life brings. Can she survive in this brand new world unfolding around her?
Over the course of the year, Geva meets new friends who are on similar, but different paths. Strong new women enter her life, while several interesting men tempt her to give up the quest and she is forced to choose between familiar patterns and a new, unknown future. “Will Geva give up the experiment and return to her old life?” “Can Geva create a new life, where she no longer needs men?” “What role will men play in her new life?” ”Will her new discoveries affect the lives of millions of women around the world?”
“This debut memoir by a talented new writer breaks all the rules and will keep you reading from sunup to sundown. Don’t miss this one.”
Geva Salerno is an author who believes in women liberation, empowerment, creativity, personal growth and spirituality.

Design Thinking, through a process of self-reflection, looks for patterns in the form of concept-nets or schema that are used as mental frameworks to create a level of meta-thinking.
Design Thinking is a meta-model that offers a multitude of models through the process of self-reflection.
