DISRUPT DESIGN ORGANIzATIONAL CLIENTS INCLUDE
“We look forward to continuing to work with Leyla and the team on how circular design can create more regenerative and restorative systems in the world we create.”
HOW WE DO IT
At Disrupt Design, we developed and use the Disruptive Design Method (DDM) to design all our workshops, commissions, projects and interventions. We teach the full methodology through our educational initiative, The UnSchool of Disruptive Design.
Using a unique multi-disciplinary approach that combines expertise from design thinking, sociology, environmental sciences, cognitive sciences, behavioral economics and systems thinking, our approach transfers knowledge and skills needed to apply productive boundary-pushing outcomes for activating sustainability and designing solutions for the circular economy.
We also offer workshops to teach the DDM to individuals, organisations, and in a “train-the-trainer” format for your in-house capacity building. The DDM is being used currently around the world in both international organizations and academic contexts. These workshops are offered in person and online (ready to go or with live session enhancements), depending on location, availability of trainers, and current border restrictions.
“The Disruptive Design workshop far exceeded my expectations. The content has given me a practical way to delve into complex problems, exploring thinking far beyond my normal lines of inquiry, and to surface new areas for intervention and innovative ways of designing those interventions. Everyone who is tackling systems should learn this.”
“ Over 200 of the world’s largest firms estimated that climate change would cost them a combined total of nearly US$1 trillion in the case of nonaction. At the same time, there is broad recognition among these same firms that there are significant economic opportunities, provided the right strategies are put in place.”
