This issue is interesting given the recent news that Adaptive Path is looking for a CEO. An interesting note is that they don't explicitly say they are looking for someone with "Design Thinking/Strategic Design" skills. In fact - nowhere in the posting on AP's blog to the current leadership team mention design.
"We want someone with a unique mix of business experience, operational savvy, and leadership qualities. We'd like someone to help us build on our successes, and make the most of our exceptional opportunities, without sacrificing the culture and values that have made our success possible. We figured there's a good chance that Adaptive Path's ideal CEO either already reads this blog, or knows someone who does. So if you think you know the right person for this job (even if that's you), send an email to bryan dot mason at adaptivepath dot com. We'd love to hear from you!" Business, Operations, Leadership. That's what they are looking for. Wouldn't it be interesting if they could find a person with those qualities who comes from a design background?
