Research has significantly advanced the understanding of the benefits that Design Thinking can offer organizations and firmly established the importance of effective teams for them. Yet, a critical inquiry remains: What specific benefits does Design Thinking confer upon teamwork and its outcomes? This article conducts a systematic review, synthesizing empirical evidence from literature to address this question. The analysis reveals the diverse impact of Design Thinking on team interactions, skills, tasks and activities, values, emotions and mindset, and team composition as well as performance. Furthermore, this study explores how Design Thinking's influence on teams can contribute to cultural change within organizations and discusses both the limitations and prerequisites of this method. Suggestions on how future research can proceed are provided, and practical implications that can enhance the implementation of design methods in organizations are highlighted.

There has been an ongoing effort to develop creative instructional techniques aimed at improving skills, knowledge, and competency of ICT students in developing nations. To join efforts in this endeavor, a two-year project at the Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) introduced the “Morogoro Youth Empowerment through the Establishment of Social Innovation Lab (YEESI Lab).” Through a series of hackathons, students engaged in collaborative learning experiences alongside multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary peers. Diverse problem- and project-based learning (PBL) approaches were used, enabling active and authentic interactions between peer students and students and their instructors. This chapter describes the experiences, lessons, and outcomes derived mostly from hackathons hosted by the Zindi Africa platform in which YEESI Lab students participated. Notably, the results reveal a trend in which students who did not specialize in ICT degree programs as well as those who did not attend the synchronous learning sessions performed the best.
