SYSTEMS CHANGE + DESIGN FOR GOVERNANCE
There is an emerging concern to address the pragmatics of large-scale social system change across all cotexts. Organizations can no longer do it alone if they want to achieve scaled and sustainable impact. Successful system change models are still emerging across different sectors, and simultaneously their results are challenged by massive global trends.
Achieving systems-level transformation requires activating, cultivating, and galvanizing networks that support new collaborative activities, processes, and mindsets.
At RSD8, we’ll spend three days exploring real-world contexts where organizational behavior, entrepreneurship, policymaking, and design are already colliding. Together we will learn about new tools and methodologies to evolve our individual and collective points of view about leadership and the transformative practices—and challenges—of large-scale collaboration.

ACTIVITY GROUPS

Activity sessions address a specific system change challenge for large-scale transformation. Activity groups are knowledge sharing and bench-marking discussions focusing on emerging systemic design practices and applications in public, private, and social sectors. Facilitators will summarize the results of the activity and results will be published in the conference proceedings.
WORKSHOPS

In workshops all participants are invited to engage with innovators of the latest tools and methods of systemic design. Workshops allow facilitators to prototype and test new ideas and co-create new knowledge collaboratively with participants. Facilitators will lead hands-on activities, sharing their tools, methods, and strategies for social transformation, designing for complexity, and re-imagining governance.
