Generating meaningful conversations with a design sensibility 

We created Change Design Principles to bring a design sensibility to change experiences in organisations for  Team Development contexts and OCM Practitioner contexts . When situations are complex with a high degree of uncertainty, traditional methods of resolution are insufficient – a better way to explore what’s possible and desirable is principles-based. To act from a principles-base is to know the principles relevant to a situation, and apply these when deciding and taking action. These are design principles to influence design choices. To design is to make intentional decisions about the form and function of something, so it might do or be something desirable for a ‘user’. In both Team Development and  Organisational Change Management, a key thing that can be designed is Experiences : The whole of an interaction between people, as well as the quality or nature of any particular interaction.

To be a designer is to be an agent of change. ~ Barbara Chandler Allen To be an agent of change is to be a designer. ~ Helen Palmer
