This book presents emerging work in the co-evolving fields of
design-led systemics, referred to as systemic design to distinguish it
from the engineering and hard science epistemologies of system design
or systems engineering. There are significant societal forces and
organizational demands impelling the requirement for “better means
of change” through integrated design practices of systems and
services. Here we call on advanced design to lead programs of
strategic scale and higher complexity (e.g., social policy,
healthcare, education, urbanization) while adapting systems thinking
methods, creatively pushing the boundaries beyond the popular modes of
systems dynamics and soft systems. Systemic design is distinguished by
its scale, social complexity and integration – it is concerned with
higher-order systems that that entail multiple subsystems. By
integrating systems thinking and its methods, systemic design brings
human-centred design to complex, multi-stakeholder service systems.
Asdesigners engage with ever more complex problem areas, it is
necessary to draw on a basis other than individual creativity and
contemporary “design thinking” methods. Systems theories can
co-evolve with a new school of design theory to resolve informed
action on today’s highly resilient complex problems and can deal
effectively with demanding, contested and high-stakes challenges.
