Using Systemic Design for the Understanding and Evolving of Organizational Culture

Format: Papers, RSD8, Topic: Economics & Organisations

Juan de la Rosa and Leon Paul Hovanesian II

This paper introduces the idea of organizational culture beyond the common indicators used based on quantitative analysis, and through the use of qualitative methods, design research methods and reflective practice seeks to recognize and define a possible model for analysis of organizational culture and action towards transformative and resilient futures for organizations. This tool follows systemic principles and uses a holistic approach to map and recognize the current state and the future possibilities of the organizations, as well as establishes a framework for strategic transformation based on systemically defined goals that seek for a balanced organizational health.

The Scholars Spiral

In 2022, the Systemic Design Association adopted the scholars spiral—a cyclic non-hierarchical approach to advance scholarship—and in 2023, launched Contexts—The Systemic Design Journal. Together, the RSD symposia and Contexts support the vital emergence of supportive opportunities for scholars and practitioners to publish work in the interdisciplinary field of systemic design.

The Systemic Design Association's membership ethos is to co-create the socialization and support for all members to contribute their work, find feedback and collaboration where needed, and pursue their pathways toward research and practice outcomes that naturally build a vital design field for the future.
