Systemic design toolkit

This toolkit helps you co-design interventions to address organisational and societal complexity. The systemic design toolkit 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.

The Systemic Design Toolkit was initially developed as a response to the need for tackling increasingly complex projects. The collaboration was led by  Kristel Van Ael at Namahn and Philippe Vandenbroeck at shiftN, and presented for the first time in an early version at the RSD5 symposium in Toronto (2016). Since then, the original authors have collaborated with Peter Jones (Systemic Design Association) and Alex Ryan (MaRS Discovery District) for continued development of the toolkit towards a mature version, ready for use. The toolkit continues to evolve throughout its application in various design projects, adapting and expanding the set of tools within.
