Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

While some in the U.S. claim that design thinking is dead, criticizing it as redundant or damaging, the approach continues to prove its value globally by emphasizing human insight, strategic problem-solving, and risk reduction in both commercial and public sectors. Rather than being obsolete, design thinking is evolving beyond screens and products to influence business, policy, and social impact, and it's business, not design, that risks falling behind if it fails to embrace this shift.
