Design Journeys through Complex Systems: Practice Tools for Systemic Design

Design Journeys for
Complex Systems is a designer’s handbook to learn systemic design tools to
engage stakeholder groups in collaborative design to address complex societal
systems.

Systemic design uses systems thinking and service design to address
large-scale societal contexts and complex socio-technical systems. These are
contexts characterized by social and technological complexity, high
uncertainty, and often problematic outcomes.

Using a tour guide metaphor, the book trains people’s mindsets and provides
tools for dealing with hyper complexity, to enable understanding of systemic
problems, and to build capacity to collaborate in teams to produce action
proposals.
