A quest, Diving into our relationship with time

As a 501c3 nonprofit organization and member of 1% for the Planet, we rely on the generosity of individuals and businesses to support our work.

Taking on a holistic approach to design and systems’ thinking can help us understand how different elements relate to each other — and helps us remember that the world is an interconnected web. Everything we design is part of a whole that has a wider social and ecological impact.

THE BOOK EXPLORES A NEW WAY OF LEADING AND REDESIGNING ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES THAT IS URGENTLY NEEDED. A WAY THAT ADDRESS THE INTERCONNECTED STRESS IN OUR WORKFORCE, ECOSYSTEMS AND ECONOMY.

The goal of the show is to inform more humans about the path ahead and inspire people to play a role in our collective future. Guests will be from a wide range of scientists, leaders, activists, thinkers, and doers.

3 Key Stakeholder Groups — All peoples, all non-humans, all planet — expanding human-centred design’s stakeholders from just ‘business and target users’ to ‘all peoples (across the supply chain, related communities, and ‘invisible’ humans), all non-humans, and all planet’

Life-centred design enables product designers and businesses of physical and digital products to consider the impacts of their products on all people, all non-humans, and all planet.
