Abstract

The paper examines issues related to achieving generic graduate attributes at the discipline subject level in the areas of innovation, creativity and problem solving through the application of design thinking frameworks. The paper explores the literature in the field of graduate attributes and then outlines important aspects of design thinking theory and finally provides a glimpse of how elite universities are implementing design thinking strategies. This approach does not involve the application of a specific design thinking framework - instead it advocates the selection of design thinking frameworks to suit particular contexts.
