Designing Sustainable Futures: How to Imagine, Create, and Lead the Transition to a Better World
No full textWe are in a decisive decade that demands more inspired and informed practitioners who can use positive futures to rebalance the present. The book you hold seeks to be a thought‐provoking approach to imagine, create, and lead the journey to a more sustainable world – where a spectrum of choices, including regenerative practices, await conscientious citizens, companies, and communities.
With this objective, and to help reverse the megatrends of economic disparity, social injustice, and climate change, the Institute for the Future (IFTF) and the Design Department of the Politecnico di Milano came together to prototype an approach to prepare all practitioners who seek to leverage the future to infuse our present with more impact and agency.
Guided by global experts and inspired by a growing network of future‐makers, the authors share essential insights from this emerging landscape, offering thought‐provoking theory, innovative experiments, real‐world experiences, and practitioner stories. We draw insight and inspiration from many contemporary theories and practices, including strategic foresight, experiential futures, speculative design, design fiction, systems design, participatory design, and transformative leadership, and an emerging entry with genAI‐augmented design.
Regardless of whether you have a design or management background, or want to create a for‐profit or non‐profit, this book enables professionals across industries, as well as students preparing for a career in strategy, innovation, or transformation, the knowledge, skills, and confidence to strengthen resilience and guide the transition to the more sustainable practices of a better worl

Future design narratives: an interdisciplinary approach to a decolonial glossary
Full text linkAs design evolves, language serves as a bridge between envisioned futures and the ontological elements of design that shape them. This manuscript presents an alternative glossary that gathers words from diverse disciplines and practices intersected by a decolonial lens that challenges hegemonical narratives. The glossary of the world to come results from a three-day workshop that focused on language as a formal, normative, and subversive tool capable of defining future behaviour and destabilizing the present. The terms are some among the many that exist to form this decolonial world
Advanced design as reframing practice: Ethical challenges and anticipation in design issues
No full textAdvanced Design (ADD) is a branch of industrial design that directs and uses the tools, practices and knowledge of conventional industrial design in long-term projects, or in projects that are addressed to a distant future. Recently, ADD has focused its attention on projects that are not governed by a client in order to search for innovation stimuli that come from extreme situations or far from the aim of the project. It also focuses on continuous innovation processes in which the designer is not the only creative actor of the process and often only helps draw the route of innovation, instead of drawing it alone. Although the ethical debate has always been alive in conventional industrial design, considering this renewed horizon of ADD, a particular reflection on the concepts of ethics, time and the designer's responsibility, is necessary. This paper describes the transformation of the traditional designer considered to be the demiurge of fashion and industrial products into a manufacturer of possible futures and co-author of futurist reframing
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Existing Forms of SI Dynamics & Features influencing SI Processes and Business Models
Full text linkConsidering the specificity of SI process and the complexity of SI Business Models emerging
form the analysis has they have been presented and discussed in Part I of this deliverable
(Rizzo, Komatsu & Deserti, 2015), this II Part of the deliverable will undertake a
multidisciplinary study to advance understanding of the different factors influencing such
peculiar nature. The literature review will contribute form one side to build theoretically
sound and comprehensive deepening of the numerous factors that underlie the actual
economic structure of social innovations, and, from the other, will enhance differences or
similarities with other forms of innovations.
The factors and concepts affecting social innovation business structure emerging form the
