Abstract: This presentation aims to put strategic design into perspective as a new culture of decision-making. Design strategy is about creating roadmaps and brand experiences that are transcendent and resilient. It is about processes that embark on social engagement as a catalyst for systemic organizational change. It is about systems of products and services that are strategically innovative and holistic. Design strategy is about a mindset, a way of thinking and a set of tools that help businesses, organizations and institutions realize what it is that they should be doing next, how they can do it, and most importantly, why they should be doing it in the first place.

100. Design Strategy
Design strategy is the mindset, the bias, the collective way
of thinking that leads to creation and implementation of
strategic organizational objectives.
101. Design Strategist
A Multi-T-shaped design strategist analyzes complex
problems and designs practical pathways and holistic
business solutions to achieve those said objectives.
104. How design strategy, as a bias, can help develop,
establish and maintain an organizational ‘creative
culture’ that is resilient and evolves with change.
116. “‘Culture’ is one of those fuzzy terms that makes
business analysts roll their eyes, but its true power lies
in the fact that, unlike other competitive advantages,
it is nearly impossible to copy, and that’s what makes
it the real ‘secret sauce.’”
!
— Rotman Magazine - Sohrab Vossoughi, 2013
117. Changing an organization’s culture is like
changing someone’s personality! It is possible
but it means a true shift in beliefs.
118. It entails more than establishing a new
policy and making a few new hires.
124. Be ready for change.
Embrace change.
Realize change as an evolutionary process.
Deconstruct your organizational culture.
Rediscover your core culture.
Establish that culture as a transcendent experience.
Design the conditions for systemic change.
Manage the change and let it grow.
Know why.
125. “An authentic culture, at the very soul of a business, is
something competitors cannot imitate. Like soul, culture
is intangible. Yet given a little inspiration, this intangible
commodity can be converted into untold wealth.”
126. “Incredibly, the next big wave of growth will come from
businesses whose leaders know how to convert low-cost
intangibles like culture into high bottom-line value.”
