Dan Hill masterfully lays out how Design can play a role in shaping the world through large and small moves.
The case studies bring the often intangible nature of some Strategic Design practice to life, and helps the reader to see how it can play out in real life projects. A must read for anyone who claims to be working in Strategic Design.

fairly random but worth a read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2014Verified Purchase
This series of short books or long essays from Russian publishers Strelka is a mixed bag. Some are very very short, whereas this is actually quite hefty in comparison. Oddly for a book on design, where you might expect a clarity of thought and structure, this is rather a mishmash of fairly random writings, some unconvincing theory, and some insightful observations from some high profile experience, such as working on iPlayer. This is the sort of thing that Deyan Sudjic does and makes seem effortless. In this case the effort shows, and although it is an interesting read, it does remain something of a curate’s egg.
However for the price, it is well worth getting.

Changed my understanding of the world
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2020Verified Purchase
I've bought this book over 50 times now and given it to many people I respect in business. Dan's Dark / Observable Matter mental model helped me to understand what was happening when my Design firm was bought by a big 4 auditor. Anyone interested in effecting change in complex systems and answering the big questions being posed by society should read this book.

Brilliant description of the need for strategic design
Reviewed in the United States on 5 June 2016Verified Purchase
While 'strategic' design sounds like it may be another buzzword packaged to define a sellable consultancy capability, this essay is anything but. A thorough and insightful look at the problems facing society, tools for framing the correct problem to solve and evaluating the ecosystem of dependencies. Beyond that there are thoughtful elements of how design process can tackle some of the largest issues of our time in this new world order. Fascinating and insightful from real world examples in practice. Not the easiest read, as Dan is an extremely smart writer, but well worth it and inspiring.
