DesignShift: From Breaking to Boundaries

How about… instead of moving fast and breaking “things” we slowed down and prioritized human and planetary boundaries?


Moving fast doesn’t just lead to broken things, it leads to broken-down people and a broken planet. In pursuit of what is next and what’s new, we're using the earth and people beyond their boundaries.

Not enough time to make sure that we don’t harm the planet through our work… Not enough time to build trust with communities… not enough time to create healthy team environments… all in pursuit of what?  Much of our design work hides behind the illusion that “it will all be worth it in the end when we’ve launched that next “xyz.” It almost never is.

DesignShift: how might we shift from breaking things to designing within existing boundaries?
