You can´t do co-design without doing user research first. User-driven design is different from user-centered design. User-centered design focused on testing something. User driven design goes to the user in the first place and gathers information.
LAB UAS
Information Design means getting rid of the disturbing facts and only showing the most meaningful facts. Also making links between things. If it is done visually, it is easier to understand.
LAB UAS
We can´t expect to change a complex system. We can identify a casual loop within the system, test something there and then see how it changes the whole complex system.
LAB UAS
Systems Thinking Perspective is not about reducing complexity, it´s about making it visible!

LAB University of Applied Sciences, Finland
Coordinator
LAB is a higher education institution focusing on innovation, business, and industry. It operates in Lahti and Lappeenranta and provides education also online. LAB’s applied research activities aim at finding, developing, and producing new and improved products, production systems, methods, and services. The focus areas are integrated into teaching, learning and the organisational philosophy.
When you break it down, all important social, climate policy and technological decisions are in the end about human existence, about individual lives.
UAS Upper Austria
Agile methods are by definition part of the design process!
