Design, Complexity, and Change: DMI Design / Management Annual 34

In the midst of widespread turmoil, there are thought leaders and practitioners-in industry, government and academia-who are demonstrating the way forward.

They're using design to solve the new challenges of profitability, sustainability and well-being.

In times of change, design managers need to think, work and execute beyond the normal-to drive business and industry in new directions and be better equipped as change agents.

We need to help solve complex problems, rebuild systems, find new meanings, tell new stories, and drive organizational change.

No longer is yesterday's "normal" the standard to achieving success.

Leading in the future requires a deeper involvement to tackle both daily issues and the big picture.

Design, Complexity, and Change is about the people and practices who are designing at the edge of change.

This conference will highlight their stories, and draw out lessons for how design can help us to reframe, rethink and reinvent our future.
