3 Design Thinking Principles You Can Use To Find Your Purpose For Work

A look at a ground-breaking approach to Career Development from professors at Stanford University.

It all started with a class. Professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans insisted they should offer a ‘Student Success’ course for all students at Stanford University. They hoped to instill career development early and foster student success in choosing a college major so that all students might find fulfillment in their careers after graduation.

That book has taken off across universities in the United States and is becoming one of the leading Career Development theories around the world.

Although this is something engineers use all the time it never really occurred to anyone that these principles could be applied to life, work, and careers.

The simplicity of the approach is this: your vocation in life is a problem worth solving. And if it needs to be solved, it also needs to be designed.
