Abstract [en]

Over the years, we see an increase in the number of design approaches addressing complex societal challenges and supporting systemic change. However, this field remains difficult to comprehend. Approaches typically do not build on each other, their relationships are unclear, and it is difficult to grasp which method does what in this fragmented field. How can we collectively create a landscape of interconnected design approaches focusing on transition, transformation and systemic change that is adopted and further developed by the research community? In this conversation, we jointly reflected with the participants on our findings of a 3-year study that included 38 systemic change approaches. During the conversation, we created different mappings of this landscape, including important characteristics and still missing approaches. Building on the insights of the conversation, we attempt to enhance the interweaving of approaches and advance the establishment of a living community across different schools of thought.
