Keith Marble in conversation about Design Thinking

Keith an engineer has considerable experience in design here is an excerpt from his biography:

Design was the common thread running through product development and later project management across health care, automotive and medical device products. Working across different design environments from custom design to high volume production, from the obsessive cost consciousness in the automotive field to the highly regulated medical device field has given me a unique perspective on design.

Design Thinking with MBAs


In conversation with MBA students about the important nature design plays and its impact in practice, creating access, integrated into culture.


The emergent Design Thinking management narrative bringing innovation to organizations.

By giving each person and group continual opportunity to participate, in his or her own unique way, in decision making and in the work of providing for the welfare of the larger group and community, Native cultures provided each person and social unit the freedom, sense of purpose, and opportunity for self-actualization and development necessary for their own realization in the ways that directly provided for the needs of the community. As we are beginning to learn in the contemporary workplace with the rise of employee involvement and team process, this method of harmonizing individual freedom with social purpose is exceedingly efficient, effective and productive. (LaDonna Harris, 2011)
