Innovation and Design Thinking mind maps

These community-made maps offer different ways into the unit. The Innovator's DNA brings together skills such as questioning, observing and experimenting. Organizing for Innovation looks at people, organizations and an internal marketplace for ideas. Learning Through Doing connects design thinking with prototyping.

How to study with the maps

Start with The Innovator's DNA if you want to explore individual skills. Follow each branch and explain how it relates to the central idea in your own words. Then use Prototype to look at ways to develop and get feedback on an idea, including models, mock-ups and role-play.

When you want a different way to study, return to the unit page and try a quiz or read a note. Use the map again to reconnect details you want to remember. Pick a map and follow a branch that interests you.
