This document discusses how the field of design is evolving from making physical objects to facilitating collaboration across disciplines through design thinking and design-led integration. It argues that designers can create new platforms and methods to enable stakeholders from different fields to work together effectively on complex problems. These design-led platforms and approaches will facilitate collaboration, simplify specialized knowledge, and develop new tools and frameworks to democratize expertise. The document envisions design taking a leadership role in integrating disciplines and facilitating application-based, empirical academic research on design-led approaches.

Doing Co-design: What, why, with whom and howPenny Hagen
Talk presented by Penny Hagen and Natalie Rowland for UX Australia 2013 in Melbourne.
In co-design those impacted by the proposed design are actively involved as partners in the design process. Co-design is being used in government, community and health sectors to extend traditional consultation methods and increase program reach and impact. Co-design approaches are also being used by corporates to engage internal stakeholders and customers, identify new service opportunities and improve existing ones. But what is it, why do it and how?
When ‘doing’ co-design, the role of the designer becomes one of facilitator: enabling participation, designing the right triggers, questions and scaffolds in which meaningful and effective participation can occur. Getting this right can be challenging and raise a few interesting questions along the way.
In this presentation we will share our approach to co-design developed over the last eight years working with a range of organisations in Australia and New Zealand. The presentation will draw upon case studies such as the design of HIV testing services with Australian men, the design of service strategies and mental health programs with young people and mental health professionals and an organisational wide co-design training for program for librarians, aimed at preparing them to become co-designers themselves.
The presentation will cover the key principles and framework we apply in designing co-design workshops, favourite activities for involving and priming groups of people for productive participation as well as tips and considerations for doing co-design in dynamic, sensitive and political situations.
We will also explore questions raised by co-design such as:
How creative can ‘users’ be?
What level of influence do ‘users’ have?
What happens to the expertise of the ‘designer’?
How far can we/should we take it?
How do you know when you (or the organisation you are working with) are ready adopt a co-design approach?

Designing Futures to Flourish: ISSS 2015 keynotePeter Jones
We now find ourselves as a systems thinking community inquiring into planetary governance for climate and ecological politics. The Anthropocene demands a planetary response, and yet we often find even our fellow travelers tethered to discourses of technological management, cultural change, and right action. We might now advocate a stronger role for social systems design as a process for continual engagement of citizen stakeholders, and between these citizens and policy makers, as advocated by Christakis, Ulrich and others. As we have seen power (economic and political) separate from its cultural histories, and become globalized, we may find ourselves in trajectories of action but with marginal power to effect societal outcomes.
We are faced with a dual mandate of restorative system design, recovering human needs in our communities, and policy system design, restoring the long historical arc toward democratic governance. And as these are both designable contexts, systemic design can integrate ecological, technological and design thinking to guide policy in more productive ways.
• We find ourselves captured in the politics of solutionism. Most presentations of the “problems” as stated before us reveal a trajectory of preferred solutions and their possible shortcomings.
• Climate change, even the entire Anthropocene aeonic perspective, represents a problematique of multiple effects systems. We are bound up in political discourses of “system change” and do not share a compelling common view of a flourishing world. We seem unable to reregister the most compelling societal choices and drivers save carbon mitigation.
• We have not conducted, to my knowledge, a substantial stakeholder discovery that extends beyond the immediate and obvious primary combatants in the climate change wars.
• As citizens and political actors on the planetary stage, we have been afraid or unable to present a clear view of the risk scenarios, possible governance strategies, or a normative plan for serious global investment. If the planet were a business concern, it would be in receivership by now.
Systemic Design Principles & Methods ISSS 2014Peter Jones
Research paper presentation at ISSS 2014: Design Research Methods for Systemic Design: Perspectives from Design Education and Practice
The recent development of systemic design as a research-based practice draws on long-held precedents in the system sciences toward representation of complex social and enterprise systems. A precedent article, published as Systemic Design Principles for Complex Social Systems (Jones, 2014) established an axiomatic and epistemological basis for complementary principles shared between design reasoning and systems theory. The current paper aims to establish a basis for identifying shared methods (techne) and action practice (phronesis). Systemic design is distinguished from user-oriented or industrial design practices in terms of its direct relationship to systems theory and explicit adoption of social system design tenets. Systemic design is concerned with higher-order socially-organized systems that encompass multiple subsystems in a complex policy, organizational or product-service context. By integrating systems thinking and its methods, systemic design brings human-centered design to complex, multi-stakeholder service systems as those found in industrial networks, transportation, medicine and healthcare. It adapts from known design competencies - form and process reasoning, social and generative research methods, and sketching and visualization practices - to describe, map, propose and reconfigure complex services and systems.
C2D2 Artful & Disciplined Dialogue for Wicked ProblemsPeter Jones
Artful and Disciplined Dialogue for Today’s Wicked Problems
Effective change leadership requires negotiating both open and disciplined participation, especially when addressing fuzzy situations such as peace or political reform. What if we treated social and policy issues as wicked problems, concerns that are never “solved,” but are satisfied through evolutionary progression? This approach to social design requires a mix of dialogue styles to enhance ideation and mitigate power in multi-stakeholder engagements.
We present both Art of Hosting (open) and Structured Dialogue as a mix of participation models for problem-focused planning and decision-making. While rarely used together today, we explore why both perspectives help in today’s complex concerns in democratic decision-making.
The main mission of systems-oriented design is to build the designer’s own interpretation and implementation of systems thinking so that systems thinking can fully benefit from design thinking and practice and vice versa.

The application of design thinking methodology on research practices a mind m...Joana Cerejo
The difficult task of innovation is a key facet of Research & Development institutions. Innovation is also closely related with processes oriented to achieve solutions in design. We propose to research new emerging design methods and provide an overview of design thinking tools that can be applied in an early stage of the R&D research process in order to produce meaningful results. This research presents a set of experimental guidelines and an analysis method for the application of these tools. The establishment of coherent guidelines for the design thinking process is a very complex task, due to its interdisciplinary requirements, that convey many diverse mindsets. The main focus of this study is creating an analysis toolkit that enables non-specialist and specialist users to perform high-quality design production.

How Design Theories Evolved from User-Centered Design to Design Thinking.pdfWorxwideConsulting1
From textiles to architectural drawings to digital devices, every product is created with a function—and a user— in mind. Around mid-twentieth century, designers began considering “human factors” (also called ergonomics) to products, services, and interfaces to address human users’ needs. It has led to the evolution of designing theories and shift in designer’s point of attention.
Let’s see how?!
Design Thinking in Project Management for Innovationijtsrd
Primary objective of this paper is to understand the concepts related to Design thinking in respect to project management. Now Design thinking has been part of every industry seeking solutions for innovation for the great products and solutions for the end user to create a large horizon of growth in competitive markets. In order to effectively apply design thinking approaches, methods, and principles extensive theoretical research is needed with proper guidance. As per most of leaders agrees that standard approaches to project management are not up to mark for driving the innovation particularly because of uncertainty and complex in nature. Also, leaders thinks that project management is hard to drive large man force while implementing rapid changes in the environment or business areas. As per theories, new ideas can only be part and important pillar of innovation. With the rise in competition and new technologies like cloud innovation is necessity for being into market.

"Open and collaborative design processes. Meta-Design, ontologies and platforms within the Maker Movement"
Doctoral defense @Aalto University 11.11.2020
Custos: Professor Lily Diaz-Kommonen, Aalto University, Department of Media, Aalto Media Lab
Opponent: Professor Elisa Giaccardi, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands
The emergence of the Maker Movement has taken place in the context of a design practice and research that is now open, peer-to-peer, diffuse, distributed, decentralized; activity-based; meta-designed; ontologically-defined; locally-bounded but globally-networked and community-centered. For many years the author participated and worked in the Maker Movement, with a special focus on its usage of digital platforms and digital fabrication tools for collaboratively designing and manufacturing digital and physical artifacts as Open Design projects. The author’s main focus in practice and research as a meta-designer was in understanding how can participants in distributed systems collaboratively work together through tools and platforms for the designing and managing of collaborative processes. The main research question of this dissertation is: How can we support and integrate the research and practice of meta-designers in analyzing, designing and sharing open and collaborative design and making processes within open, peer-to-peer and distributed systems?

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

ABOUT THE
EVOLVING FIELD
OF DESIGN.
The previous slides are based on
perspectives I’ve gained from working
in multidisciplinary design teams and
pursuing the frontiers of innovation.
I believe the application of design-led
integration will be incubated across
various hubs—leading corporations,
start-ups disrupting complex
industries, forward-thinking
academic programs, next
generation social enterprises and
progressive government programs.
My goal is to leverage design-led
integration to push change for the
better—building a cohort of fellow
travelers who capture learnings,
push each other’s thinking and
proliferate an ecosystem of
design-led practice, platforms,
methods and theory.
