Systemic design is based on systems thinking and takes a systemic perspective to design practice and design thinking. It views design as an inherently systemic activity. Systemic design is informed by general systems theory, soft systems methodology, systems architecting, and critical systems thinking. It is a practice that involves methods, skills, knowledge, concepts, strategies, and reflection. Systemic design moves beyond sharing data and facts by facilitating sense-making and team sense-making. It questions the divide between planning and execution by embracing continuous systems change over time through an orchestrated process with no clear end.
