‘In the future, design thinking and reasoning, or the design mindset, will become part of work and everyday life. For example, Jeremy Haefner, provost and executive vice chancellor of the University of Denver, sees new university applicants needing:

“the fundamentals of design thinking as a foundation to their future education. Faced with a rapidly changing employment landscape due to automation, machine learning and robotics, new graduates will need skills that are expressly human – emotional intelligence, effective communication and ethical leadership. Already employers are asking for graduates that have mastered team-based problem solving, empathetic enquiry, and a constructive yet respectful critique process. Universities must respond to these needs, and design thinking is a curricular platform to deliver those skills”
