Larry Leifer writes and co-writes books on engineering design, design thinking and collaborative innovation. In *The Design Thinking Playbook*, written with Michael Lewrick and Patrick Link, he helps present a practical process for understanding users, reframing problems, generating ideas, building prototypes and testing them quickly. His academic work on design engineering gives the book a stronger connection to how teams actually create and evaluate solutions than to general motivational business writing. Leifer has also contributed to research-oriented books on design teams and engineering practice. His work fits design thinking, product development, engineering design and innovation management, particularly for readers interested in the relationship between creative methods, team behaviour and iterative experimentation.
