Critics Review

’(The book) is therefore also suitable for every director, manager, strategist and controller. You could almost imagine that, without a good and open framework of design thinking within a public organization - in terms of strategy, policy, execution and actual delivery of products and services - the risks automatically arise. A readable book and perhaps indispensable. It offers tools to (finally) connect the systematic world of the government with the world of its citizens and businesses.’ - PRIMO Nederland

‘The book is, without a doubt, one of the best books I have ever read on the topic. The author does a good job explaining the design process in a way that non-designers will understand. I really like the way the author breaks up the text with the case studies and debates from his experience as well as examples from other efforts. That makes the book more readable and it makes the explanations of the design process more tangible.’ - Prof. Thomas Fisher, Professor, Director of the Minnesota Design Center, and Dayton Hudson Chair in Urban Design
