The Pacific Design Thinking Group teaches, trains, facilitates and consults in Design Thinking. The team met while obtaining their Master's degree, studying in a program that focused on leadership and innovation using Design Thinking as an anchor. Although the team has their own coaching and consulting businesses, they formed Pacific Design Thinking Group to work together and promote Design Thinking. Their passion for the 'methodology' was driven by the effectiveness of its outcomes. Also termed Human Centered Design, Design Thinking helps uncover the true problem or need, and then helps design an innovative solution to address the problem or need. The team has years of training and experience working in the Design Thinking space, with clients ranging from large corporations to small non-profit organizations.
