The Design Difference

Design involves cycles of listening, dreaming, visioning, constructing, and testing solutions to human problems.

Healthcare is full of complex, persistent problems like inequity, conflicting priorities, and historical tensions between health systems and communities. Many healthcare professionals want to do the right thing.

But how do you build innovative solutions when we’re still using the traditional problem-solving mindsets that brought us here?

Design helps us move beyond good intentions into equitable, principled actions.

Design is:

practical

rapid

creative

scrappy

systematic

optimistic

principled

As practitioners of Design Justice, we commit to the following:

  • *This principle guides our mission at Learning Design Collective.
