Innovating successfully is hard.There are technical challenges
and adaptive challenges
Requiring more know-how or resources
Requiring deep change from organizations and people

Design Thinking and Adaptive Leadership are practices for doing and managing the organizational challenges of human-centered innovation.

We immerse deeply “at the extremes” to pull out new observations about what people experience and why…

We get up on the balcony to frame technical and adaptive challenges/opportunities for greatest impact…

We prototype rapid, low-risk experiments that make iteratively larger aspects of ideas and experiences real…

We use these modes agilely and mindfully – often experimenting early to learn.

And we constantly access the entire collective creativity of our community, building stronger innovations, innovators and relationships.

How much are these a part of your work today?
When we do anything….
We try to deeply understand the people involved. We seek to continuously frame a powerful
perspective on the situation or “system” and how to impact it.
We broadly imagine solutions. We rapidly prototype and iterate. A lot. We draw deeply from the insights, intelligence,
imagination and practices of our community.

To begin, we need at least a little of the following mindsets (they develop as we go).
How we speak shapes how we think, so each mindset has “mantras” that we use regularly.

Jewish Day school communities face major challenges.

What if we created cultures of innovation—schools filled with design thinkers who practice this in every action and interaction?
