Bring Design Thinking to Your Career Planning

Sherilyn Smith (Professor Emerita, Pediatrics) defines design thinking and how you can use it as you plan next steps in your career. Design thinking is a non-linear process that, when applied to your career planning,  allows you to test and learn ideas to craft a realistic and achievable plan. Dr. Smith explains each step from understanding your current values and strengths to defining the problem you want to solve, and finally to ideation and prototyping.

For a book on this topic, Dr. Smith recommends Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans.
