Transition Design for Systems-Level Change | Terry Irwin | Institute of Design (ID)

Описание: Terry Irwin (Carnegie Mellon University) explains Transition Design, an approach for shifting socio-technical systems toward more sustainable, long-term futures. She shares practical ways to frame wicked problems, find leverage points for change, and build ecologies of interventions over short, middle, and long-term horizons.

If you care about equity, justice, community-led change, and systemic impact, this talk connects systems thinking to the real work of redesigning public services and everyday life.
If you’re a UX or product designer ready to move upstream and “master the systems behind the screens,” the frameworks here help you think beyond features and roadmaps.
