Design thinking — a term and strategic approach that means far more than the simplistic “outside the box thinking” epithet often attached to it — can change the paradigm to foster workplace innovation consistently.

The Times Square Alliance wants to use New York's Time Square as a testing ground for public seating prototypes. For example, Brad Ascalon’s “Island Collection” features a series of interlocking, powder-coated steel seats and planters. Ascalon says the design aims help break up Times Square’s chaotic and bustling spaces, carving out sheltered areas for sitting and relaxing. To make that divide clear, some of the seats (which are topped with ipe wood) and planters rise to waist-height.

Graham Thompson is the founder of Optimo, a men’s hat company based in Chicago’s South Side. Last year, when it came time to move someplace larger, he found the ideal venue in a 1914 firehouse about a mile from his original location. To re-envision it as a bona fide factory and showroom, Thompson’s dream was to enlist SOM. The firm values craftsmanship, authenticity, and timeless luxury just as he does, but rarely takes on projects of such scope.

Haw’s first move was to condense most of the clinic’s treatment rooms into a single, self-contained pod that would sit within the main room.

People are really good at talking, but they're very bad at listening.
Even more, people are often really bad at asking questions. Research has found that people who don't ask questions in attempts of looking smart are actually viewed as less smart to other people.
