Systemic design is a methodology that combines the theory of Systems Thinking with the practical methods of Design Thinking to view difficult and complex problems as systems, consider the related elements and interactions, and design solutions. It incorporates the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, analyzes the problems of the target system from a bird’s-eye view, moving back and forth between parts and the whole, and considers sustainable and useful solutions.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Systemic design combines the theory of Systems Thinking with the practical methods of Design Thinking to approach complex problems, and is attracting attention as a useful method in a variety of fields, including social change, the design of complex social systems, business and policy formulation, and environmentally friendly ecosystems. Systemic design involves diverse stakeholders, uses Systems Thinking to understand complexity, discovers effective solutions to problems through a design process, and encourages reflection on one’s own behavior and mental models within the system through repeated experimentation and iteration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
