definition by Tim Brown, President andCEO of IDEO, provides a relevant framework. Brown describes design thinking as: “…a discipline that uses the designer’s sensibility and methods to match people’s needs with what is technologically feasible and what a viable business strategy can convert into customer value and market opportunity.” 12The pedagogical goal of design thinking is innovation. It is achieved by finding the intersectionof what is feasible (typically the domain of engineering), with what is viable or profitable(typically the domain of business schools) with what is desirable. Design innovation is theintersection of these activities13, as shown in Figure 1

Because of this background, he was selected to be part of a team to teach the ”Innovations and New Ventures” class on entrepreneurship that began in the summer of 2006, with him concentrating on the innovation side of the course. To date, over one hundred and eighty students have learned how to develop a product and put together a basic business plan.

And, 2) How do we develop a procedure for applying the storytelling results to the start-up phases of entrepreneurial work and illuminate its effectiveness for delivering innovation.Increasingly, academic and industrial collaborations begin as entrepreneurial expectations fordelivering something novel. Defining the first steps of start-ups results in discussions of a seriesof related concepts: innovation, empathy, and storytelling. While the media is rich

Second, we propose anew way to think of the innovation cycle, based on the virtues of creativity, diligence, andwisdom, which are informed by other virtues, such as compassion, justice, and stewardship.Finally, we consider practical pedagogy and case studies (including experiences of our studentauthor) to teach entrepreneurship using the virtues, which may help faculty to move beyondsimple teaching of skills towards a positive influence to increase student entrepreneurialbehavior.2
