Course content

The majority of problem areas relate to systems that comprehend 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 the range of solutions that are available.

In this module, we study various systems and their relationships from a systems-oriented design perspective, while also connecting the examination to strategy work.

Learning outcome
  • Increased understanding of different systems and dominant logic
  • Experience with applying various tools to analyse relationships within and between systems
  • Ability to use systemic thinking as an important basis for strategy development
  • Competence in employing systems-oriented design as a tool for organisational design
