Strategic thinking of design refers to the process of using design thinking methodologies to develop and implement strategic plans for an organization. It involves using design thinking principles such as empathy, ideation, prototyping, and testing to identify and address complex business challenges.

In strategic thinking of design, designers work collaboratively with business leaders and stakeholders to gain a deep understanding of the organization's goals, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This helps to identify key strategic priorities and develop a shared vision for the future.

Designers then use their creativity and problem-solving skills to develop innovative solutions that align with the organization's strategic goals. They may create prototypes or mockups to test and refine their ideas, and use feedback from stakeholders to improve their designs.

Strategic thinking of design is becoming increasingly important in today's rapidly changing business environment, where organizations need to be agile and adaptable to succeed. By incorporating design thinking into their strategic planning process, organizations can create more user-centered and innovative solutions that can help them achieve their business objectives.
