How design can transform your ability to address complex challenges

Imagine your change initiative was faster, smoother, less risky, and delivered better outcomes. We can do this by focusing on human value.

This is what design can bring.

The reason a design approach is essential is that change is a human challenge and failure is generally due to human factors. Think about any change you have been involved with and you will have experienced challenges in a least some of these factors:

• power structures: change buts up against vested interests and shadow power;
• culture and mindset:?when change is seen as ‘not how we do things around here’;
• behaviours: when change requires that people do things differently;
• networks of relationships:?when change requires new relationships and routines.

Design is not just another change tool – it is the process of change, the activity of change. Design does this with people, exploring the future, getting familiar with it, and working together to address the resistant factors -with respect.
