Definition 1
Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer’s toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.
—TIM BROWN, EXECUTIVE CHAIR OF IDEO
Thinking like a designer can transform the way organizations develop products, services, processes, and strategy. This approach, which is known as design thinking, brings together what is desirable from a human point of view with what is technologically feasible and economically viable. It also allows people who aren’t trained as designers to use creative tools to address a vast range of challenges.

We live and work in a world of interlocking systems, where many of the problems we face are dynamic, multifaceted, and inherently human. Think of some of the big questions being asked by businesses, government, educational and social organizations: How will we navigate the disruptive forces of the day, including technology and globalism? How will we grow and improve in response to rapid change? How can we effectively support individuals while simultaneously changing big systems? For us, design thinking offers an approach for addressing these and other big questions.

Definition 2
Design thinking is a method of user-oriented design of services and products. Where you concentrate on the user requests as on the main problem, and only then you look for possibilities of technical implementation, of economic opportunities and solutions for those problems.
This idea arose due to the fact that the old management methods in modern society did not work, or rather they became less effective, and design thinking techniques could be used in any management, business and production.
