Design in Organisations (15 credits)
The aim of this module is to develop students knowledge and skills to understand, analyse and evaluate how design for the service economy acts as a strategic tool to foster change and innovation in organisations.
Students will examine forensic case studies from an organisational perspective, from private, public and third sectors and across different domains of innovation (for ex. digital, sustainability and customer-centricity), to understand how and to what extent does design for the service economy get adopted to enable innovation?
Theories of organisational logics, institutional logics, organisational change, design for services, service -dominant logic, and theories of leadership will be utilised throughout the module and the students will engage in application of these theories and concepts.
Design Ecologies (15 credits)
The relationship between humans and our changing environments presents one of the most pressing questions of our time. In this course, we will approach ecologies from a design standpoint, taking it as the study of the interdependent relationships between living and non-living entities, as well as their social, cultural, political, and environmental contexts.
The aim of the course is to equip students with knowledge and understanding of the relationship between design and ecology, the varied ways in which this is conceptualised, and what this means for social design practices in pursuit of ecological value systems. Taking the latest developments in ecological debates as our points of departure, we will explore the systems of thought underpinning this relationship. This will include exploring recently popularised design concepts and practices spanning `planetary design', and `pluriversal design', to less prominent ideas of `design for ecological democracy', `designing the commons', and more.
By developing creative outcomes informed by critical thinking, the intention is to bring a strong evaluative and interdisciplinary approach to the formulation of design responses to some of today's most urgent challenges, including climate change and biodiversity loss.
