Strategic Design bridges disciplines and departments, roles and responsibilities.
It is concerned with the factors around a thing, not just the thing itself.

Who are you?
And who’s your mundane superhero?
Metamechanics What are the underlying mechanics of here?
let's start with this…
Jean Tinguely 1925-1991
If you stare long enough, you see how it works
What are the underlying mechanics?
Mechanics
“the behavior of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment”
Wikipedia
Mechanics:
What happens to things when things happen to them?

Manifesto for a Ludic Century“Media and culture in the Ludic Century is increasingly systemic, modular, customizable, and participatory”

The multiplicity of mapping
It’s not just about the things you can see…
Dmitri Mendeleev
Maps help us see things we haven’t
yet seen
Maps help us explore and present
“The map is not the territory”Alfred Korzybski
“I thought I was prepared. I knew the theory. Reality’s different”
Dr Amelia Brand, Interstellar
Game #2 The Map Of You
Finding a vision and work to it, provoke the rest of the group into thinking and
feeling differently about the world
Searching for the big, fundamental truths, to express the laws that govern this world, proof to support those laws, and ways to
express them in their simplest form
Honing in on the people at the heart of this, looking for the problems
that the user is fed up with, and solving them as quickly and cleanly as you can.
Looking at the fundamental workings how it is wired, working out what else
it can do, and why that solves the problem in a completely different way.

The pattern problem
An example becomes a lesson A lesson becomes a method A method becomes a practice A practice becomes a doctrine A doctrine becomes death
We can’t get caught waiting for things to happen again

“it is just a name used, a boat to get one across, and once across it is to be discarded and not to be carried on one's back”
Charlie Munger
“Eighty or ninety important models will carry about 90% of the freight in making you a worldly‑wise person.”
Loops help (re)make our models in response to reality

Take FOUR cards

On the COLOURED SIDE of the first two cards…
TWO things you love (products, services, experiences)
AND the reason you love them
FOURSQUAREBecause nobody really uses
it, it’s a great ‘weird’ city guide for new places
DROPBOXIt now has a scanner that
allows me to take a picture of something which
becomes a PDF
For example…

On the WHITE SIDE of the other cards…
TWO things that are BROKEN about the food you eat
INSTAFOODWhen more care is taken in how something looks than how it tastes. Stunts over
substance.
TV DINNERSPer week, the average
person* spends 5 hours watching cooking shows, and
only hour hours cooking.
For example…

Questions / Reflections
We need a topic to apply ourselves to…
The Future of Food
Cuisines take advantage of what the landscape can supply
CUISINE
“An organising principle, a collection of dishes reflecting a whole system of agriculture”
Dan Barber
“landscape is the culture that contains all human cultures”
Barry LOPEZ
CAN WE USE A CUISINE To depict A LANDSCAPE FROM THE FUTURE?
Let’s look for weak signals
One thing for tomorrow - either…
i) Something that will signal towards a change
ii) Something you think will look differently in the future
See you tomorrow
