Designing to transform
From cargo cults to creative systems
A talk by Emily Campbell
Design finally got our proverbial seat at the table. Yet we find ourselves defending our value while stuck in processes and frameworks built for a different time (or a different discipline). Sound familiar? It’s not just you.
To solve the complex problems of tomorrow, businesses need to transform the way they work and communicate. If we look at organizational constraints as a design problem and turn our practice inward, we can alter the foundational structures that unlock new ways of creative working.
In this talk, Emily will discuss methods to apply prototyping, human-centered design, and systems thinking to the business to build influence, harness emergent change, and elevate the impact of design.
Themes
- Stakeholder personas and job stories
- Mapping outcomes back to roles and rituals
- Understanding feedback loops
- Demystifying the employee experience
- Prototyping organizational structure
- Storytelling to influence change
