To be able to address the complex nature of today\u2019s societal and economic problems, professional organisations recognise that traditional tools and approaches may not provide the required solutions. To innovate on complex challenges, many have turned to design approaches over the past decade, including both public (Bason, 2010) and private sector organisations. To increase design capabilities, these organisations have established innovation labs with designers, have recruited designers in strategic positions, and\/or have started building the design capabilities of existing staff through educational programs, often provided by design consultancies.
\nSo far there is limited evidence of the impact of design capability building within these sectors, although many seem to agree that workshops and short courses in design thinking do not lead to the required change. Furthermore, capability building programs do not always seem to build on contemporary educational and social theories of workplace learning, which highlight the social and complex nature of how professionals learn (Hager, 2011; Orlikowski, 2002).
\nThis situation is further complicated by the fact that design for complex societal problems differs from traditional design practices, and should be adapted to the needs of this \u2018target field\u2019 (Buchanan, 2015; Dorst ,2015). What is it then that professional organisations learn from design? And how can design capability be increased in these organisations (see e.g. Price, Wrigley, & Matthews, 2018)? In this track we are inviting contributions about increasing design capability and workplace learning within organisations. Topics include but are not limited to:
\n\u25cf Case studies of capability building in design in public\/private innovation
\n\u25cf Theories of transdisciplinary design pedagogy & workplace learning
\n\u25cf Learning between organisations through networks and communities of practice
\n\u25cf Required adaptations of design practices to the public\/private sector<\/p>\n
