Like you're doing with Indicee; allowing people to ask real questions in plain language. Numbers generally tell real stories but for many people this is missed. (Partly because they leave school with a nasty aftertaste for numerals.) Developing the ability to draw out and present those stories to people is where design thinking could really help Accounting and Finance professionals add value.
