Design Thinking Jam

SAP University Alliances hosted 46 students from seven universities for a day-long Student Design Thinking Jam on February 23, 2013.  Students learned how the world’s most successful companies … those that are growing and hiring college graduates … drive rapid innovation using Design Thinking (video). Design Thinking is a new way of solving business and technology problems.  It puts the end user in the middle of the process to collaboratively identify problems and creatively find solutions.
