Zusatztext "Using design to address social challenges is now a truly global phenomenon. Important questions must be asked of design itself as the discipline seeks to make sense of its new role in the world. Design Transitions then is a timely and commendable resource that not only highlights emerging practice and practitioners! but also explores the important question of where next for design practice." - Brenton Caffin (Director of Innovation Skills! Nesta and founding CEO! TACSI)"Design Transitions is an important snapshot of design's new-found maturity and strategic importance. The collection of viewpoints from across the globe shows that this metamorphosis is not just the purvey of design elites in London and New York! but a worldwide and irreversible phenomenon. Highly recommend to anyone interested in understanding where design is heading in the next decade. And that should be everyone."- Dr Andrew Polaine (Co-author: Service Design: From Insight to Implementation)"Design Transitions is both a well-designed and well-researched book packed with valuable case studies and interviews. The case studies impressively illustrate how design can change organisations and their business models! but also how design itself constantly progresses way beyond its traditional understanding. I recommend this book to everyone working in the field of design! everyone with an interest in a new understanding of design! and everyone who is looking for examples that design is not (only) about aesthetics! but about a much much broader picture." - Marc Stickdorn (Editor and Co-Author of "This is Service Design Thinking"! Co-Founder of smaply and ExperienceFellow)"If you know what you have to innovate! but you don't know how! read Design Transitions! I needed to develop instruments and policies and innovate these mechanisms for the Dutch Energy Sector. Design Transitions allowed me to meet on paper a wide span of innovation organisations. The insights and learning's I have gained from how these organisations have developed products and services! allowed me to implement different approaches when designing instruments and policies for my governmental department." - Dounia Ouchene (Strategy Advisor!
