We have been actively promoting design thinking as a problem-solving capability in the past year. The HKDC (Hong Kong Design Center), in collaboration with the Efficiency Office and the Civil Service Training and Development Institute, is holding classes and seminars both at the community level and within the Government.
The Government will draw up internal guidelines to encourage departments to adopt pro-innovation proposals and apply design thinking in the procurement process to enhance efficiency, to meet the needs of the public, and to advocate the “people-oriented” service culture.
