2.1.4 Criticism to Design ThinkingSome claim that Design Thinking might become a meaningless fashionable term without true business value (Pourdehnad, Wexler & Wilson, 2012).In fact, it’s many times only a buzzword picked up by the market to generally characterise the skills needed to create strategic intent, a method for companies to seek better input from the market or even only a transversal soft skill everyone should have (Boyer et al., 2011).Collins (2013) argues that if Design Thinking is many times reduced by companies to a more linear process, maybe that is a consequence of their struggle with the messiness and risk- taking necessary to adopt it.For the same author, in an attempt to seek a tidier proposition with lower risk, business tries to replicate Design Thinking in a simple process or methodology, rather than assume it as the paradigm shift it should be (Collins, 2013).The truth is, though, that Design Thinking has been applied in developing new products as well as services in a broad range of problems from selling solar panels in Africa to the operation of Airbnb, and seems to be useful to any problem that needs a creative solution (Linke, 2017).
