  Design thinking is a formal method for practical, creative resolution of problems and creation of solutions, with the intent of an improved future result. In this regard, it is a form of solution-based, or solution-focused thinking - starting with a goal (a better future situation) instead of solving a specific problem. This roundtable discussion is designed to be interactive and participatory by all attendees with the aim of providing attendees with a greater insight to this theme and how you can start to use some simple learning points to create a more effective project management practice.
