Leading For Positive Change

Our focus in this issue includes social innovation, cultural change, and transformation by design, and we have a healthy assortment of articles to illustrate a range of the great work that’s being done in these areas. Highlighting just a sampling of these... Alison Rand leads off by challenging us to redefine what design means today in a way that is even more innovative and adaptable. Doris Wells-Papanek presents a series of collaborations to address healthcare challenges that we face that work toward including more diverse perspectives. Jeff Wolfe describes his life with dyslexia and opens a conversation about the struggles and strengths of neurodiverse people. We also learn about new tools that leverage the power of design and hear from educators who are examining design curricula in universities to see how best to train designers of the future.
