Transformation Design

There’s an old saying that every organization is optimized to achieve the results it currently gets. The implication is that, in order to get new and better results, an organization must respond differently by taking on novel means of evaluating problems, spotting opportunities, and working together to create a desirable future.

At IDEO, we apply our human-centered design approach to almost any type of challenge, including the design of organizations themselves. It’s a simple idea that produces widely varied and complex results. Often, it means beginning by envisioning new, relevant solutions for untapped opportunities, and then building capabilities and designing system structures to bring those envisioned solutions to life. The key is to make things tangible—to design spaces, tools, processes, strategies or programs that prompt behavioral and cultural changes.
