New ambition in design: Societal transitions towards more sustainable futures Transition Old model New model
The way we live right now is not sustainable! Environmental Social Political Economical
Transition design is an evolving discipline combining methods and theories of change, anthropology, design and sustainability, to identify and analyse wicked problems and establish processes and collaborations to achieve positive long-term societal transitions.

Rough Transition Design Process Guide 1. Problem mapping & Analysing Stakeholder Concerns & Relations 3. Backcast and create transition path ways with design interventions 4. Implement design interventions 2. Co-develop future vision desirable for all & Identify the mindset shift needed to reach desirable future 5.

Challenges to apply transition design in practice 1 2 3 4 An emerging field, thus the design processes and methodologies are not solid yet There are not many done cases we can refer to or learn from Transitions take long time to observe, measure and learn The role of designers and the value of design in process of transition is not very clear 12
Roles of Design in transitions projects in 4 dimensions Political dimension Creative dimension Technical dimension Social dimension Designing participatory processes for negotiations of characteristics and strategies of future systems with all relevant stakeholders Questioning existing paradigms and imagining new socio-technical systems, that is desirable for all Selecting, designing, developing system concepts and design interventions Enabling more effective communication through visualisation and simplifying the complex information Edited from Gaziulusoy and Ryan 2017 Roles of design in sustainable transitions projects; a case study of Visions and Pathways 2040 project from Australia.

Todays decisions are made with the key influence of strongest stakeholders. However future doesn t have a voice. REGULATORS acts as rule setter Transition design aims to make the voiceless stakeholders visible in todays decisions, in order to achieve more sustainable future. INFLUENCERS influence rule setting OPERATORS provide specific services within the ecosystem CITIZEN consumers of services
Transition Design sprint 1. Ministry 1. Forming teams 2. Problem mapping 3. Stakeholder hopes, fears and believes 4. Conflicts and opportunities 5. Reflections on current themes 6. Future Possibilities for Finland Wicked problem 2. Ministry Social 3. Ministry Wicked problem Economical Environmental 4. Ministry VNK Wicked problem
It is time to join forces and bring the designers in the battle field against the wicked problems
