organisations designed during the 19th”

Activity
Review 20 definitions of design and synthesies/construct your own definition.

“Design uses knowledge to create what should be; it is the
core of all professional activities. Design is the intellectual activity
of changing existing situations into desired ones.”

“The systems design approach seeks to understand the
problem situation as a system of interconnected,
interdependent, and interacting problems”

Activity
Select a socio-technical system of your interest and stipulate fields of knowledge
that might contribute to the knowledge base of engaging in the (re)design of your
selected system.

“Messy systems have properties that none of their parts have. These properties
are lost when the system is taken apart”

“It is a mistake to begin design by focusing on the problem and
leave thinking about the solution to later stages. Over
the course of design, often designers are thrown back to
square one”http://www.flickr.com/photos/linhngan/2849874977

“A design literate population will be able to make judgments about
the instrumental and social effectiveness of design decisions. It can make judgments about the
socio-economic and political implications of design decisions”

“Design literacty enables us to understand what design is as a
human activity, what design does and how it does it, what the role of
design is in society, what the impacts of design are on human
quality and betterment”http://www.flickr.com/photos/modenadude/5256894008

“We have two choices. We can relegate authority and
responsibility to others who represent us, as we do today. Or
we can empower ourselves by acquiring design literacy and
competence”http://www.flickr.com/photos/toniblay/92083733

“The primary generator is formed very early in the design process as
a set of initiating concepts. It helps designers make the creative leap
between problem formulation and a solution concept”

“Broad design requirements in combination with the primary
generator help designers arrive at initial conjecture that can be
tested as an interactive process. Conjectures and requirements
mutually shape each other”http://www.flickr.com/photos/hamed/2070859805

“Ideal designs should be technologically feasible, operationally viable, and capable of rapid learning
and development” -Ackoff

1)Look at the unstructured problem situation2)Develop a richest possible structured picture
3)Speculate about systems with relevant solutions4)Develop abstract representations (requirements)
5)Compare conceptual model with problem6)Identify feasible and desirable changes
7)Take action and introduce changes

“The behaviour of designers depends on their image of
society and the image they have about the societal
function of the system they wish to create”

“An image of a new system will be revolutionary, but the move
toward it can be evolutionary. The image is speculative and
serves to trigger further exploration and refinement”
![Page 20: Designing social systems in a changing world](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022100304/55564eb9d8b42a8d0f8b4fb0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

“Incremental adaptations or restructuring of our existing
systems is not working for us. We have to transform our systems and learn to change and coevolve with
our constantly changing environment”

Activity
Run a design process
●Vision-quest:● What kind of society do we wish?● What is our contribution to this vision?
●Initial exploration:● Study various dimensions: economic,
sociocultural, sociotechnical, technological, organisational, scientific...
● Revisit the vision statement● Define system boundaries & requirements● Formulate collectively agreed core values
●First image of the system:● Build a 'macro-view' of the ideal system● Evaluate against requirements

Group techniques
●Nominal Group Technique (NGT):● Formulation of triggering questions● Silent individual ideation in writing● Record and display to the group● Discussion and clarification of ideas● Selection and designation of ideas
●Role Assignment:● Guardian of participation● Guardian of focus● Guardian of selected group technique● Guardian of documentation● Guardian of tolerance and values● Guardian of motivation● Guardian of coordination

Group techniques
●Heartstorming:● Express the subjective, value-laden
aspirations and idealistic dreams of the participants
● Create a common vision● Requirements:
● Attractive● Powerful● Clear and focused
●Delphi●Interpretive Structural Modeling●Option Profile and Option Field●Attributes Porfile and Attributes Field●Trade-off Analysis●CogniScope

Activity
Construct a statement of 2 pages that you could use in discussing the necessity
of developing design literacy and competence
