Outside in: Better design by looking outwards
Designers are seeing their wish come true: Design and design thinking now has widespread recognition, and we have increasingly more seats at the boardroom table.
This has also meant that more large-scale complex problems are given to designers to solve. In doing such work, new and frustrating situations may emerge where designers feel that their knowledge, tools and processes are no longer enough to achieve the best outcomes.
Through his exploration of other non-design disciplines, Khai Seng has gained new perspectives, and will bring in some frameworks to help designers become more effective change makers.
