First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Rev Darnell Fennell and Rev. Ashley Mayham for facilitating opportunities that sparked my desire to write, research, and publish this book on Design thinking. The NBA, the National Benevolent Association of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), in St. Louis, Missouri, for granting me some time to read and think of the need for such a book. I thank my cohort friend, Dr. Lynn Jameson, for her continuous encouragement for our SENT COHORT.
I am appreciative of the matriculation at the following schools: Concordia University, Seward, Nebraska; Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee; Dillard University, New Orleans, Louisiana; SMU, Dallas, Texas; Graduate Theological Foundation, and Oxford University, Oxford, England.
Those universities gave me mental and intellectual prowess and made me an analytical and critical thinker, especially when it comes to providing consulting work with Universities and corporate America.
Lastly, my family, friends, and loved ones, who encouraged me with unwavering support. Solomon Lacy, Kenny Spencer, Lance and Todd Spencer, and Aminah Spencer.
Their belief in my abilities is worth a million with the thought process of Design Thinking. Those collective encouragements have been a driving force behind my success, and for that, I'm profoundly thankful.
I am thankful for the study and research for Design Thinking, an excellent manner, and vision for transforming aviation, science, engineering, education, leadership, entrepreneurship, technology, theology, medicine, music, military, psychology, spirituality, fianc , sports, and writing.
