Jurgen and colleagues,
Design Thinking isn’t an "animal on the market” to be tamed but a way of thinking that is unfamiliar to many. They are naturally curious about what Design Thinking has to offer that is different. A simple way to put it is that it is “situated improvement” in which the outcome is appropriate in the circumstances and satisfying to those effected. Creative Design Thinking goes further than Design Thinking in that it is "inventive situated improvement" in which something new, significant and inspiring is created. Either can be applied to resolve any situation, need, desire, interest or concern. Although “documents” are helpful to explain and help implement the outcomes of Design Thinking it is how the situation is thought about and the nature of the intentions regarding problematic situations that matter in determining what physical or social approach is appropriate to the goals. Humanistic values are the imperative “hammer” we should all be using to arrive at satisfying and successful solutions. They are not limited to nails
Or, so I believe,

Since each process of 'designing' driven by material facts or not, material facts have the advantage of a better control of thought processes, this we usually call designing, since each process of 'designing' needs documents, therefore there are as many approaches to design thinking as solutions. But the worst is that we have the 'one process fits all' IDEO 'hammer' where everything is a nail.
