Presentation: Design Systems Change
Now is the time to radically change the way we deliver value through the design world. The circular economy offers challenges to the format of business, product development and production processes; but by combining these in a holistic way—through circular systems design—we can develop new and transformative products, services and systems that offer regenerative solutions by design.
Design sociologist Dr. Leyla Acaroglu will share provocative insights on how to transform design into a catalyst for positive systems change.
