So, it’s beginning: The Design Action Plan FRM 🚀
🔑 Key lessons from the workshop with pdr for design policies:
▶️ Start with the ecosystem
▶️ Bridge sectors
▶️ Think long-term
▶️ Prototype before scaling
▶️ Institutionalize change
What a weekend in Munich at DIVE’25 for WDC 2026. we explored what a design policy should look like. Key takeaways:
– Clear goals, audiences & strategies are essential
– Theory matters, but shouldn’t paralyze action
– Design must be seen as a strategic tool across sectors
