Innovación y Diseño: cómo transformar organizaciones y prosperar en mercados competitivos

Palabras clave: pensamiento de diseño, innovación, cultura organizacional, ventajas competitivas

Resumen

El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar la estructura del modelo de innovación impulsado por procesos de diseño y como este puede promover transformaciones estratégicas en las firmas, que les permitan mantenerse competitivas en el mercado y responder de manera más efectiva a los desafíos que este impone. La investigación es de tipo descriptiva y ha seguido un proceso sistémico de revisión de literatura en bases de datos especializadas para identificar fuentes de información pertinentes. Se encontró que el Pensamiento de Diseño a través del impulso de prácticas metodológicas, restructuración de procesos, y fomento al intercambio de información y aprendizaje continuo puede transformar la cultura de una organización, permitiendo el surgimiento de nuevos métodos de trabajo que agilicen la identificación e interpretación de necesidades y problemas al igual que la formulación de acciones de respuesta. Se concluye que el modelo de innovación planteado puede tener un papel estratégico en las organizaciones en la medida en que también existan estructuras internas de apoyo.
