Past, Present, And Future: Understanding The Expanse Of Design For Policy And Governance, Scott Schmidt, Marzia Mortati
Past, Present, And Future: Understanding The Expanse Of Design For Policy And Governance, Scott Schmidt, Marzia Mortati
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Sponsored as the official track of PoGoSIG, this track aims to critically explore and define the relationship between policy and design. Further, this track will serve as an initial call for papers for the upcoming edited volume of the same subject in the Routledge series ‘Design for Social Responsibility’ edited by Rachel Cooper. The track can be divided into an expanse of three key areas: 1. Past: Resistance Where did design for policy emerge from? Papers that can provide historical overviews of key initiatives that have demonstrated the value of and challenges for design for policy. The papers will provide …
Applying Design-Led Approaches To Public Sector Innovation: A Case Study Of New Zealand’S Service Innovation Lab, Jane Lehtinen
Applying Design-Led Approaches To Public Sector Innovation: A Case Study Of New Zealand’S Service Innovation Lab, Jane Lehtinen
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper adds to emerging research on the application of design-led approaches to public policy and services by public sector innovation labs. It presents key findings from the first in-depth case study on the New Zealand government Service Innovation Lab, which operated between 2017 and 2020 as part of broader public sector efforts for citizen-centric digital transformation. Based on a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews and organizational documentation, it discusses how the challenges of applying the Lab’s design-led approach in this public sector context were navigated by professionals involved with the Lab over time. The findings reveal that to navigate …
Co-Designing Public Value: Collective Ownership Of Outcomes In The Public Sphere, Jez Bebbington, Leon Cruickshank, Niall Hayes
Co-Designing Public Value: Collective Ownership Of Outcomes In The Public Sphere, Jez Bebbington, Leon Cruickshank, Niall Hayes
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Design principles and practices have contributed substantially to the discipline of public management, particularly over the last decade. Service design, design for policy, and design for social innovation demonstrate the increasing degree of convergence between design and public management. This paper considers the concept of ‘creating public value’, at a strategic level beyond specific policies and services, from a co-design perspective. The paper explores opportunities for co-design principles and methods to contribute to the creation of public value - via policy design and enactment - through the examination of public value and co-design literature. Implications for co-designers and policymakers are …
Seamless Journeys To Work: A Multifaceted Approach To Exploring Daily Journey To Work Experiences Of Young People With Disabilities, Marianella Chamorro-Koc, Amanda Beatson, Carla Sartori Do Amaral, Sven Tuzovic, Lisa Stafford, Gregory Marston
Seamless Journeys To Work: A Multifaceted Approach To Exploring Daily Journey To Work Experiences Of Young People With Disabilities, Marianella Chamorro-Koc, Amanda Beatson, Carla Sartori Do Amaral, Sven Tuzovic, Lisa Stafford, Gregory Marston
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Technology advances extend our opportunities for social participation by enabling our ability to establish actual and virtual connections. While these changes prompt new forms of social engagement beyond physical mobility, such advances seem to not have truly augmented the ability of young people with disabilities to self-determine their access to places for work, health or play. This paper reports the creative synergy of four disciplines through co-creation and mixed methods approach that extend our understanding of young people experiences of journeys to work. From relevant policy to surveys and field work, our three-stage research investigated the limiting factors and enablers …
Integrating Sustainability With A Regional Design Sector, Simon O'Rafferty
Integrating Sustainability With A Regional Design Sector, Simon O'Rafferty
Nordes Conference Series
Recent developments in European design policy are strengthening the links between design and sustainable development. Therefore, it increasingly important to understand evolving perspectives on sustainability and develop new approaches to building competencies amongst designers so they are in a position to respond and remain relevant. The potential mix of competencies is diverse and is challenging traditional perspectives on the role of the designer. This article discusses interventions to build sustainable competencies in the design sector. It does this by presenting some insights from the early stages of developing a knowledge exchange programme in a region that has no existing programmes …
The Construction Of Complexity In Design And Public Policy Contexts, Chris Urbina Meierling
The Construction Of Complexity In Design And Public Policy Contexts, Chris Urbina Meierling
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper explores the nature of complexity and how it is manifest in the practice of design research and public policy given their unique contexts. This comparison is made by examining the tools and approaches that are used in understanding problems and creating outcomes in each field. This paper is based on a recently conducted action research study at a state legislature in the United States and is supported by foundational literature on modern problem theory, decision making, methods, and process in the two fields. Complexity emerges from the many stakeholders that surround and define our issues, the enigmatic nature …
