Empathy In Creativity and Design Thinking

Empathy In Creativity and Design Thinking | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
RSA Animate recently released a video called 'The Power of Outrospection'. The video intrigued me and this post has helped me pull together some of my thoughts about the links between empathy and creativity.
The post explores empathy in a variety of fields, including design, human services, and the creative fields, and the video is also embedded in the post. Take the opportunity to read the post, watch the video, and ponder how empathy allows us to be creative as we look for new solutions for whatever issues we face.

Sam: Looks good. Commenting doesn't send a box to the top of the screen.
