Design thinking is useful at any stage of your business; particularly in the earlier stages. This framework will help identify and understand the needs of your users, clarify the problems that you are solving, and making sure that you are building a business or solution that people will want or buy.
A mature design thinking practice can achieve an ROI between 71% and 107% (source: forbes)
