renaissance
/ slower learning
Authentic learning leads you places far beyond
the ambitions of career, skill, and job placement.
Learning opens up your life to unknowable possibilities.
How are we to recover our innate love of learning?
Slowly.
transformation
design
Consider all the unnecessarily obstructuve,
unsafe, unhealthy, and burdensome processes
encountered in your communities and services
- from long lines in public offices to
poor transportation systems design, from bad
signage and wayfinding to complex healthcare
services. Nearly every service in public life
can be improved. Transformation
Design brings the tools of design to communities,
letting designers "be
the tools" for change, rather than turning responsibility over
to system designers.
working
in dialogue
Co-Laboratories are a facilitated,
electronically-mediated dialogue to develop
understanding and workability in complex social and developmental
issues. We convene the
Agoras for democratic engagement of issues
to build consensus and action for complex
issues with multiple, often conflicting,
stakeholders.
