form place’s heritage to value

"what matters""what means"The legacy from past

generations,maintained and experienced in the presentand offered to future generations.

Strategic Design

• Strategic design is the application of future-oriented design principles in order to increase an organization’s innovative and competitive qualities.

• Traditional definitions of design often focus on creating discrete solutions—be it a product, a building, or a service. Strategic design is about applying some of the principles of traditional design to "big picture" systemic challenges

We are going to experience three tools:

The 10 challenges of strategic design

1. Design thinking2. Business Models Design3. Interaction and complexity4. Value in use5. Openness6. Transformations7. Difference8. Flow9. Relationships and brand design10. Style

Design thinking

• The role of the designer is to shape forms (both physical and conceptual i.e. product / processes / services, business models)

• driven by aesthetic, ethic and “economic performance” attractors• Sometime the process is “authorial” (like in fashion design)• Very often the design process is co-operative (co-design) like in

service design (involving users).• In the process of participatory design visualization, maps,

storytelling, and creativity techniques are often used.

Design thinking

• A design thinker can see the optimal shape of things and systems.• And their possible paradigmatic variations (different shapes of the

same thing in the same place and time).• And also “the life of forms” (A concept by Henri Focillon and

George Kubler) that is their formal series along the timeline (like styles).

• But also the user of a museum is interested in the shapes of things. within the shifting domain of materials and techniques.

• The design thinking is different from the approach of an art historian, or of an archivist (A designer is a morphologist)

Business Model Design

• A strategy is necessary to manage stakeholders different interests, constraints and goals. And to allocate resources.

• “A business model describes the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value

Business Models Design

• The potential user of a museum is not willing to pay adequately. Someone (public or private) is willing to pay to receive the “positive externalities” of a museum or a library.

• But public budgets are decreasing.

Difference• Strategic framework profile (The difference of Cirque du Soleil)

Interaction and complexity

• A design thinker designs behaviours more than products (a product – for exemple a tool - plus a user determines a behaviour.

• Gestures, behaviours, routines (“the presentation of self in everyday life”, according with Goffman’s model) are shapes, configurations, patterns incorporated in the design of product and services.

• This is something about the meaning of things.

Interactions

• Mobile devices (today smartphone and tablets, tomorrow wearable and immersive technologies) would be the polymorphic substitutes of the classic set of travelling companions of the tourist: guides, captions, cameras, postcards, souvenirs, books, sketchbooks, Moleskines.

Interactions

• But even loyalty cards, booking and payment systems. Perhaps also crowd-funding: imagine to send a micro-payment from your smartphone in order to support a small museum, an event, a collection, a project (restoration, publishing, grants, charity etc.).

Interactions

• This scenario announces future “product + user” configurations. And new service scripts. The new Mobile-generation (Generation-M) will recognize in new configurations "product-user", very different from those of today.
