The world is complex, and our educational structures are straining. How can we fix the problems that seem systemic?
Join us as we talk to renowned design leader and systems expert, Professor Clive Grinyer, about applying the holistic principles of service design to the field of education.
Clive, author of the forthcoming book Redesigning Thinking: How Service Design Is Solving Our 21st Century Challenges, argues that design is a powerful way to think more humanely and navigate complex systems to deliver effective solutions. We explore how schools can move beyond quick fixes and use a user-centred, design-led approach to overhaul everything from staff support and administrative processes to creating truly inclusive, high-impact learning environments for all students.
