What is Strategic Design?
Strategic design is the application of future-oriented design principles in order to increase an organization’s innovative and competitive qualities. "Traditional definitions of design often focus on creating discrete solutions—be it a product, a building, or a service. Strategic design is about applying principles of traditional design to "big picture" systemic health, education, demographic, social, human and professional challenges. It redefines how problems are approached, identifies opportunities for action, and helps deliver more complete and resilient solutions."

Traditional definitions of design often focus on creating discrete solutions—be it a product, a building, or a service. Strategic design redefines how opportunities and challenges are approached, identifies and promotes the compelling call for action, and helps deliver more complete and resilient solutions. Strategic design is about crafting decision-making with purpose and a focus on the ‘ends’; whilst confronting the reality of existing capabilities and the competitive environment. Strategies and decisions at all levels should link directly to the vision and integrate with the company DNA, its culture and the ‘distinctive’ day to day processes that become its competitive advantage.​
