MICRO DESIGN SHAPING THE FUTURE DESIGN LEADERSHIP AS AN INNOVATION TOOL

32 DESIGN  AS  FUTURE-­‐MAKING   DESIGN  AS  DECISION-­‐MAKING  

“A design attitude views each project as an opportunity for invention that includes a questioning of basic assumptions and a resolve to leave the world a better place than we found it.”

Boland & Collopy (2004)

From ”Which decision should I make?” To “What should I make a decision about?”

What is the problem/ opportunity space? What could be a better future situation? How might we expand our range of options to decide about?

Design attitude Decision attitude (”designing”) (”managing”)

What is the decision space? What is the current or past situation? Which decision should I make?

What happens between designers and managers?

Or, what can managers do to make designers succesful?
