MESSAGE FOR WEEK BEGINNING 21st September 2009

Rush to Design

In conflict situations we rush to judgement. In courts of law we rush to judgement. We never seek to design a way forward. Design is putting together what you have in order to deliver the value you want.

Design is every bit as important in real life as analysis , yet design is nowhere in education outside graphic design etc. Design should be a key part of education from the youngest age upwards. I used to run a design competition for youngsters. The range of concepts used by them was very impressive. One day I should write a book ‘Design for education’ to be used in all classes.
