Nonlinear: Navigating Design with Curiosity & Conviction

In Nonlinear, Kevin Bethune shows us that we can reject trodden paths of digital or physical product creation by taking advantage of a nonlinear approach. To unlock meaningful innovation that breeds new and novel outcomes, he writes, teams need to embark on a journey into the proverbial forest of ambiguity, the result of a rapidly converging, dynamic, and exponentially changing landscape.

The journey is less about getting it right or wrong, and more about using the information we have at our disposal to understand our choices and take steps to unlock new learning. Rooted in lived experience as a Black man who's navigated unique multidisciplinary leaps, Nonlinear serves as a mirror for readers to see themselves a bit differently through Kevin's story, as well as imagine how they might lead differently to shape better futures.
