1. In a recent conference at Weatherhead School of Management (June 2010), key speakers (e.g., Buchanan and Collopy) criticized the term design 'thinking' as too centered (by implication) on rational, left/logical brain activity. Design 'sensing' was offered as one possible alternative. The two terms are used here interchangeably, along with design appreciation.

47. Mintzberg's use of the term 'craft' rather than design also raises the issue of the gap/distance between design as 'planning' of the new artifact, and the actual realization of it, via craft. Where does design end and craft/engineering implementation begin? Craft is presumably defined differently from design (and is not a subset of it) but has been shown to be a valuable concept in business strategy. So how does design thinking compare with and overlap with craft as practice?
