Lines of inquiry into DT have established general ways in which DT efforts influence organizations. In a review of this literature, Elsbach and Stigliani (2018) distinguish long standing work on team-level DT within organizations from the influences of DT on organizations as a whole. They characterize two broad insights relating the culture of organizations to specific DT processes and practices. First, DT processes and practices give rise to an experiential learning process that triggers teams to think together about “what is going on here” (Weick, Sutcliffe, & Obstfeld, 2005). Asking and answering such questions can cultivate empathy, user-centric focus, collaboration, risk taking, learning, and openness to ambiguity within organizations. Second, DT processes produce not only physical artifacts (e.g., prototypes, sketches) but also emotional experiences (e.g., empathy, surprise) that can illuminate how and why DT contributes to the work of an organization. These two broad insights relating DT and organizational culture illustrate how DT can open up reflective conversations with situations (i.e., Schön, 1983) to a wider range of stakeholders. These insights provide support for organizing a collaboratory that involves multiple organizations and stakeholders (Muff, 2014) around DT processes and practices. These same insights also reflect complementary intuitions about the role of design in educational research, particularly the learning sciences.
