Stanford D.School - the place for a design thinking minor?
So this interview with David Kelley at NextD is interesting - the biggest thing I took away was the focus on simply bringing design awareness to other disciplines as key to d.school policy:
In any given class, we will have professors from several different schools. When students graduate, they will fulfill all the requirements of their particular degree. In addition to their major, we hope to give them an experience that will be similar to a minor in design thinking and methodology.
The d.school site is interesting but fairly light - is anyone related to Stanford d.school faculty blogging, other than Diego Rodriguez?

Decisions, Actions, Evaluation - is each purposefully placed? Or do they simply float in that space between a person and these other elements?

Hi Peter,
Decisions, Actions, and Evaluation are there to remind me that the individual is *doing something* with the connection to People, Tools, or Information.
Simplistically, Decisions lead to Actions, which are Evaluated as far as how effective they were. But the diagram was already getting cluttered with arrows ;-)
The Decision, Action, Evaluation cycle is in the same vein as the experience cycle model I talked about a while ago on ia/, but not nearly as articulated.
