About the book Design Journeys for Complex Systems is a designer's handbook to learn systemic design tools. The tools 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, enabling the understanding of systemic problems, and building the capacity to collaborate in teams to produce action proposals.More information on the book can be found on the <a href="https://www.namahn.com/systemic-design-handbook/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Namahn website. </a>About the speakersDr. Peter Jones teaches systemic design and health service design in the MDes programmes at Toronto’s OCAD University, and is a co-founder of the Systemic Design Association and the RSD Symposia series.
