Leading Real World Innovation
A Stanford University d.school Experience
What is d.leadership?
It’s a unique and immersive d.school experience that connects real-world organizations with select Stanford University graduate students. Over the course of 8 weeks, ‘d.leaders’ (trained Stanford students) will work closely with an organization to tackle an important business challenge with design thinking. By the conclusion each organization will beta launch an innovative product or service. Past partner organizations have solved challenges related to supply chain, customer service, audience, and product development, to name a few.

“Our experience was so awesome and life-changing that we still meet Fridays to work on our current prototypes (and we now have 7+ going) and brainstorm new ideas. YES and…!!”
“Having had our own approach to redefining the guest experiences in our hotels for decades, it was refreshing to have the d.leaders help us bring the guest into the conversation in a new way so we could design solutions with a clear understanding of what the problem was we were actually trying to solve. ”
