The HPI-Stanford Design Thinking Research Program strives to apply rigorous academic methods to understand how and why Design Thinking innovation works and fails.
Multidisciplinary research teams from Stanford University and HPI work on diverse topics concerned with Design Thinking, its process, method, interaction patterns and tools in order to investigate the phenomena of innovation.
From February 2nd until February 4th 2009 the 2. Community Building Workshop has taken place at Stanford. 18 representatives of the Hasso-Plattner-Institute - all research-teams have been represented - travelled to Stanford, California.
