I had a whole other topic planned for this week, then yesterday I read this NPR article called “Martin Luther King is not your mascot” by Leah Donnella. Leah reminded me that MLK is not a day to promote your business. So this week’s Madak Monday is about leaving space, to reflect and celebrate a man who did so much.

Here is a quote from The Washington Post in 1983 by Coretta Scott King on the vision of how the holiday honoring her husband should be observed:

"The holiday must be substantive as well as symbolic. It must be more than a day of celebration . . . Let this holiday be a day of reflection, a day of teaching nonviolent philosophy and strategy, a day of getting involved in nonviolent action for social and economic progress."

There are a lot of different ways to come up with product ideas, generate marketing campaigns, and make executive business-altering decisions. Perhaps you use mountains of data to make the most statistically informed choices, or maybe you gather customer feedback and get advice right from the source. Though these methods have their merits, they can be drastically improved when you implement design thinking.
