The recent challenges coming from the increased complexity caused by globalisation, migration and sustainability render often traditional design methods insufficient. We, digital creators, need better ways to avoid unintended side-effects. Systemic Design intends to develop methodologies and approaches that help to integrate systems thinking with human-centred design towards sustainability at environmental, social and economic level. This methodology has been developed to help designers working on major complex challenges that involve people across different disciplines and sectors. It places our people and our planet at the heart of design. It is a pluralistic initiative where many different approaches are encouraged to thrive and where dialogue and organic development of new practices is central. Mastering systemic design tools and methodologies can help designers and non designers to tackle the non-linearity that, among other attributes, characterise wicked and societal problems.

During this event Silvia Barbero will explain to us the methodology from a more theoretical point of view, and then Luca Baldini will present to us a real case scenario where this methodology has been applied and what were the learnings and insights gathered. After listening to Silvia and Luca sharing their experiences, you will then have opportunity to ask questions and share ideas in an open discussion.
