And yet, access to leadership development programs does not often begin until the beginning of a person’s professional career. The Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) recently conducted a survey of more than 450 business, education, government and nonprofit leaders about the education of the next generation and found that 90% asserted leadership development opportunities should begin before age 18. Leadership is a critical life skill that is often bypassed, to the detriment of the student, in traditional classroom learning. In addition to design thinking, One Stone provides a real-world experience to teach, learn and practice leadership. 21st Century skills are life skills that will serve our future leaders. This matters because in a rapidly changing world, students need to be prepared for challenges, careers and work environments that may not yet even exist. Through this, students gain valuable practice in 21st Century skills. Stages of design thinking: 1) Empathize, 2) Define, 3) Ideate, 4) Prototype, 5) Test and 6) Evaluate and reflect. Its multi-stage approach engages people of all skill sets, ages, backgrounds, knowledge base and understanding for creative, collaborative solutions. It’s a methodology that helps people solve problems and discover new opportunities. Design thinking is a best-practices model developed at Stanford University’s d.school and taught at universities worldwide, as well as employed in corporate world. One Stone’s innovative approach is rooted in design thinking.
