A pragmatic playbook by Maria Giudice and Christopher Ireland for driving change at work, at home and in communities, treating change itself as a design problem that needs people and disciplines working together. Published by Rosenfeld Media in 2023 as 'How Leaders Can Design Change in an Insanely Complex World,' it draws on insights from leaders in business, technology and social justice.
A pragmatic playbook for driving change — at work, at home, in a community — on the premise that today's tangled, wicked problems can't be solved by designing alone. Giudice and Ireland make the SDF's case for the Partners component: distribute a hard problem across people and disciplines, or you won't move it. Aimed squarely at the Social-Responsibility motto. Published by Rosenfeld Media in 2023 as 'Changemakers: How Leaders Can Design Change in an Insanely Complex World,' the book draws on insights from leaders in business, technology and social justice to offer a people-centred approach to change. Giudice and Ireland, collaborators for more than twenty years, treat change itself as a design problem to be studied and addressed, and set out to help both designers and non-designers lead it at work, at home and in their communities.
