Design for Policy is the first publication to chart the emergence
of collaborative design approaches to innovation in public policy.
Drawing on contributions from a range of the world's leading
academics, design practitioners and public managers, it provides a
rich, detailed analysis of design as a tool for addressing public
problems and capturing opportunities for achieving better and more
efficient societal outcomes. In his introduction, Christian Bason
suggests that design may offer a fundamental reinvention of the art
and craft of policy making for the twenty-first century. From
challenging current problem spaces to driving the creative quest
for new solutions and shaping the physical and virtual artefacts of
policy implementation, design holds a significant yet largely
unexplored potential. The book is structured in three main
sections, covering the global context of the rise of design for
policy, in-depth case studies of the application of design to
policy making, and a guide to concrete design tools for policy
intent, insight, ideation and implementation. The summary chapter
lays out a future agenda for design in government, suggesting how
to position design more firmly on the public policy stage. Design
for Policy is intended as a resource for leaders and scholars in
government departments, public service organizations and
institutions, schools of design and public management, think tanks
and consultancies that wish to understand and use design as a tool
for public sector reform and innovation.
The second edition of this significant text has been thoroughly
revised to take account of the latest literature, case studies and
international developments in the field. Drawing on global research
and practical examples, Bason illustrates the key triggers and
practices of public sector innovation. Each chapter includes a
refined 'how to do it' toolkit, and two new chapters have been
added, one which discusses the rise of innovation labs in the
public sector, and a practical chapter focused on change
leadership, to complement the existing chapter on leadership roles.
The book will be a valuable resource for researchers and students
in public administration, management and policy, as well as
managers, project managers and staff in public sector
organisations.

This powerful new book provides a clear framework for understanding
and learning an emerging management practice, leading public
design. Drawing on more than a decade of work on public sector
innovation, Christian Bason uses his extensive practical experience
and research conducted among public managers in the UK, the US,
Australia, Finland and Denmark to explore how public organisations
can be redesigned from the outside in, shaping policies and
services that are truly experienced as useful and meaningful to
citizens, and which leverage all of society's resources to
co-produce better outcomes. Through detailed case studies, the book
presents six management practices which leaders in government can
use to involve citizens, staff and other stakeholders in innovation
processes. It shows how managers can challenge their own
assumptions, leverage empathy with citizens, handle divergence,
navigate unknown territory, experiment and rehearse future
solutions through prototyping, and create more public value.
Ultimately, Leading public design provides a pathway to a new and
different way of governing public institutions: human-centred
governance. As a more relational, networked, interactive and
reflective approach to running organisations, this emerging
governance model promises a more human yet effective public sector.
Today, it can seem as if the world has nothing but problems. And
more than ever the boundaries of those problems are expanding in
terms of the speed, scale, and impact by which they can alter
business conditions, public governance, entire societies, the
health of our planet, and the quality of our lives. Meeting these
growing challenges requires ambitious new ways of designing
solutions. With Expand: Stretching the Future By Design, authors
Jens Martin Skibsted, a multiple-award winning designer,
entrepreneur, and design philosopher, and Christian Bason,
political scientist and CEO of the Danish Design Centre, take
readers beyond "design thinking" to challenge current habits and
carve out new space for more sustainable innovation. From
transforming the ways we do business and reimagining health care,
to creating planet-restoring housing and humanizing our digital
lives in an age of AI, Expand explores how expansive thinking
across six key areas-time, proximity, value, life, dimensions, and
sectors-can provide radical, useful solutions to a whole host of
current problems around the globe. With powerful real-world
examples, the book challenges our freewheeling belief in
technological determinism and its insensitivity toward ethics,
humanity, and the environment. Expand is the first book to not just
critique design thinking, but welcome it as a starting point for an
ambitious, wide-ranging tale of how to expand and think beyond it.
The best way to predict the future is to design it. Expand is the
book that shows us how.
