Q: What do you call the up-and-coming field that teaches a creative, multidisciplinary approach to problem solving?
A: Design thinking.
Design thinkers like Catherine Sun (CMU'05) and Renna Al-Yassini (CFA'09) possess that heady mix of creative and business skills that power innovation. BusinessWeek recently lauded Sun and Al-Yassini as two of its top 21 design thinkers—a list of graduates of interdisciplinary design programs that are out to "change the world." —Elizabeth May
