Patrick Link writes on design thinking, innovation and entrepreneurial problem-solving, most visibly through collaborative business guides. With Michael Lewrick and Larry Leifer he co-authored *The Design Thinking Playbook*, which explains how teams can move from understanding a user problem to generating, prototyping and testing possible solutions. The book uses diagrams, canvases and workshop tools instead of long theoretical chapters, making it suitable for practical use in organisations and education. Link’s work fits design thinking, innovation management, product development and facilitation. The emphasis is on iterative work, multidisciplinary teams and learning through prototypes rather than trying to define a complete solution at the beginning, so the books are most relevant to readers using design methods in projects rather than studying design history.
