Lead: Roya Damabi, Systemic Designer, CoLab
Welcome Welcome to CoLab’s Systemic Design Field Guide. This Field Guide is designed to support budding systemic designers to facilitate and lead systemic design projects. It’s designed for systemic designers who have basic familiarity with SD concepts and are looking for some practical tips and tools to put theory into action. While this Guide was designed with Government of Alberta staff in mind, the content applies across a range of issue areas, sectors, and intersections. The Guide goes through a systemic design project from concept to implementation. It takes you through the workshop planning process, and discusses workshop roles and client relations. In the FAQs, you’ll find explanations to some commonly asked questions about systemic design concepts to help you introduce others to SD and bring them along with you. You’ll get the most out of this field guide if you approach it with a systemic design mindset – open, willing to try things, a desire to learn, and a ‘yes, and’ orientation. Think of this field guide as an early stop in your systemic design journey: it’s not the end of your learning – it’s a jumping off point. In the Additional Resources section, you can connect to more in-depth explorations of concepts and practical applications. How to Use this Field Guide As a budding systemic designer, you know that systemic design (SD) looks less like this… …and more like this: It’s not a linear process. Neither is this field guide. Make it work for you. Start where you need to start. Go back and forth. Flip it. Draw in it. Make it your own. 3
