Notes from ‘professionals’ table
Designers can bring the following skills to public sector - Fresh eyes - Focus - Vibrancy - Attention to detail - Communication in a tangible way
- Problem is in the word design – more meaningful term to public sector would be ‘ to make things better and more user-centred’.
- Space between graphic design and information design is huge.
- Best project has been based on good relationships.
- Need to educate the client.
- Need to recognize the commercial opportunities.
- Giving up some autonomy for a designer can be a struggle. Experience in the public sector gets people out of this as they need to fit into a wider structure.
- Difference between ‘design thinking’ and the ‘craft of design’. Public sector needs both.
- Design process is immersive.
- Designers tend to design for what they see which is not innovation necessarily.
- They need tangible outputs which is understandable given they have to show their worth.
