Abstract
The given paper elaborates on the main models and approaches for the innovation development applicable to IT companies in the context of Covid-19 pandemic impact for short and medium terms. Authors examine the experience of creating innovations in IT industry giving the context of epidemiological constraints with the aim to prepare a research base for the future implementation of the concept of a virtualization solution for design thinking as an approach to creating innovations. Along with an in-depth study of the latest papers on the impact of pandemic-induced virtualization on the workflow, an empirical study of the features of creating innovations in the IT industry during Covid-19 was also conducted. The paper conclusion offers the authors’ proposal for adapting design thinking approach in accordance with the industry considered conditions previously obtained and processed by the research results, as well as the possibilities of their further practical implementation.
