Designers and people in the caring professions may have different and valid ways to think about caring and systems. On the Wenovski design community a wide-ranging discussion involves the question of designing “systems that care.” I take a position that we can care for systems practices, but systems will not perform as caring agents.

Design Dialogues invites you to examine ideas, new and old. Everything humanity creates is work-in-progress, and so is open to dialogue. Re-visions and re-views are welcome. Design Dialogues is for working out ideas, before they find their way into practice or in actual publications. Innovators all face an urgent challenge to make the differences that must happen; there is no longer any status quo. Many of our trusted institutions & social contracts are now broken. Whether from fear or habit, our culture is not yet innovating democratically. We do not really know how to collaborate sufficiently to the task. From healthcare to finance, politics to education, infrastructures & decision processes, we can & must reinvent our own futures. These social systems have evolved beyond their capacity to transform by management. Collaboration is insufficient - We truly need new ways of working, deciding, and organizing. Of the many ways to collaborative intelligence, some demonstrably better than others. Dialogic design, based on systems thinking & design science, offers a validated way to create new understandings, design systemically, & act democratically on the deep drivers of a problem. A community of practice meets for these dialogues in person every 2nd Wednesday in Toronto: Art, science, and design are three ways of knowing, and in the field of action they inform each other. All modes must be recruited if we are to interfere & reinvent social systems. Your participation is required. |
