Transformations: 7 Roles to Drive Change by Design

Autor Joyce Yee, Emma Jefferies, Kamil Michlewski
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mai 2017
Tracking how design has changed in previous book Design Transitions has inevitably led the authors to explore how organisations are changing using design. Design is now the key driver of innovation and change within organisations across the globe. It is therefore important to learn how, when and why to use design to drive change in your organisation.

Transformations documents how design is being used to support change across different organisations, countries and sectors, sharing the stories of experts in their fields at varying stages of their transformative journeys. The authors present seven roles for change that are used to influence the development of products and services, the shape of the organisation itself and, most importantly, their ability to embrace change. These seven roles can transform organisations to be more innovative, human-centred and resilient: Cultural Catalyst; Framework Maker; Humaniser; Power Broker; Friendly Challenger; Technology Enabler and Community Builder.

Well-documented case studies offer readers insight into how design strategies can be successfully activated in different types of organisation. The seven roles offer both designers and non-designers a common language and framework to support design-driven transformation. Transformations, in the right hands, is a potent tool to understand, shape and implement design-driven change.

Recenzii

"Thanks to Joyce Yee, Emma Jeeries and Kamil Michlewski, business readers now have a smart and practical primer on design thinking. Unsurprisingly for a book on transformation design, it puts you, the reader, at the centre. It’s easily navigable and layered so you can mine it quickly for the headline, dig deeper through the case studies or go further in to the tools and methods on-line. The authors’ academic credibility comes to the fore. They present seven well-evidenced roles that unfold in the book as a check-list for anyone in business concerned with turning complex systems into simple eortless services for customers. Remarkably for a book written by three people it feels like it was written by one. I liked its straightforward business language. This book gets my vote as a great new addition to the pantheon of writings on why and how to design change in your company."
- David Kester, Founder, Design Thinkers Academy, London

"We have heard a lot about “design thinking” in recent years; this book helps us think about “design doing”. Fascinating case studies and interviews with design consultants, industry leaders, and key academics provide the foundation for an intriguing investigation into the various roles that design plays in transforming cultures, products and infrastructures. This book is not about design thinking, nor is it about design methods–it is about the roles that design takes. The authors outline the subtle ways in which the results of design as a discipline and a practice are communicated, and how design therefore influences people, groups and organisations. A fun read, this is a very human text, speaking to the ways in which design ideas are communicated in the complex social arenas where innovations and infrastructures are created and maintained. Whether you want to reflect on how you communicate your design practices and ideas, or if you are looking for a way to think about how to communicate design ideas, or if you simply want to glance into how design is practiced in a number of disparate organisations, this book is for you."
- Elizabeth F. Churchill, Director of User Experience, Google, former Executive Vice President of the Association of Computing Machinery’s (ACM) Special Interest Group on Human Computer Interaction and current Secretary/Treasurer of the ACM

"Design-driven companies have happier customers, greater competitive advantage, and higher financial returns than their peers. This is a useful book for anyone who wants to embed design as a core approach in their organisation. It clearly articulates seven roles and related activities that enable organisational transformation, as well as well-documented case studies that show how design strategies can be successfully activated in dierent types of organisations. This book will be a useful guide for leaders, managers and front-line employees who want to understand and implement design transformation."
- Dave Gray, Founder of XPLANE and author of Liminal Thinking

How do we use design to drive change?
Seven change roles

In order to help structure the how of organisational transformation, we’ve
identified seven crucial roles that design, designers and design-thinkers play in the process. Those roles came into being as a result of the synthesis of the case studies, expert interviews as well as our own extensive experience. We’ve subsequently used the roles to inform the flow of this book. These change roles are not mutually exclusive and can be activated simultaneously at various points of an organisation’s transformation journey, depending on the context. Roles change and can be discarded when no longer needed. Our aim is to provide executives and consultants, who are about to or who have already embarked on a change process, with a framework that can assist them with decoding and enacting change efforts where design is a significant component. We explore the roles in more detail in the next chapter, but here is a brief description of them:

Cultural Catalyst – Design in this role kick-starts a more creative and
explorative culture by offering a ‘safe space’ to try out new ideas and
encourage a proactive and experimental attitude.

Framework Maker – Design offers an understandable, coherent and
human-centred process and structure to achieve product/service
innovation.

Humaniser – Humanising the work and tapping into the deep empathy
between the teams as well as with consumers/users.

Power Broker – Design engages people from different parts of the
organisation and, by using key user needs as a reference point, reconciles
silo-induced interpretations and tensions.

Friendly Challenger – Design takes on the role of a ‘critical friend’,
challenging how things are done in the organisation and in some cases in
professions and culture.

Technology Enabler – Uses a design approach to focus on user needs when
implementing a technologically-driven challenge.

Community Builder – Uses design to engage stakeholders and help
create a culture of participation and involvement that can survive through
changing contexts.

3 levels of organisational transformation by design
The Danish Design Ladder is a useful concept for assessing where any given
company, or indeed country, is with regards to its implementation of design.
We suggest that Transformation by Design Ladder can be used to identify and
guide organisational change efforts that are informed by design. It includes 3 levels:

Level 1 – Changing products and services
This level is about providing better, more human-centred products and services and improving their value to end users. Here, the transformation by design focuses on the intrinsic nature of what is being offered. Taking the case of Bumrungrad Hospital, which we will discuss at length later, the transformation was to improve patient journeys, which led to a better service for patients.

Level 2 – Changing the organisation
Level 2 transformation takes on the inner-workings of the organisation itself. In this instance, design acts as a lever through the interventions of senior designers and design thinkers, and alters some aspects of organisational structure, strategy, processes or culture. In the case of Spotify, the design function was rebalanced with the dominant tech and product aspects of the organisation to bring a more human focus to their product development.

Level 3 – Changing the nature of organisational transformation
Finally, Level 3 transformation tackles the real obstacles to organisational
change such as cultural biases, misaligned vocabulary and points of view,
vested vertical structures and many more. Design in this instance is helping
overcome and mitigate the natural systemic and social resistance to change
as well helping to equip employees with the right tools to carry out the
human-centred change. This can be seen in how the US Department of
Veterans Affairs helped staff overcome their long-held assumptions and
reconnect them with veterans’ current needs.
