The majority of problem areas relate to systems that represent both public administration and the private sector, whether in the form of regulations and guidelines and/or users, suppliers and other systems. The public and private spheres are becoming increasingly closely related; therefore, it is crucial for designers to have an understanding of the different systems, including how they connect to and influence each other while simultaneously limiting opportunities for choosing solutions.

In this module, we study various systems and their relationships from a systems-oriented design perspective. This inquiry is, in turn, linked to strategy work.
