The Zalando Case
“Design thinking, by definition, is about being exploratory enough so that you can get to a non-obvious
solution. And in order to do that you have to assume that really amazing ideas can come from anywhere.”
Dana Cho, Partner and Executive Creative Director
of IDEO Palo Alto
INTRODUCTION:
Since the early exposure to the creed of Design thinking back in 2014, Zalando’s CEO Gentz started
envisioning that the discipline of project management as a catalyst for an agile organization. A crossfunctional organization was created called the Studio in order to drive innovation throughout the
organization.

management and design thinking can be used to enhance corporate strategy in an online retail business. The

initiative you will review has proven to be a major contributor to that position of pre-eminence.
