the new planning

I came to ID thinking that Design and Planning still operated like in the 50s, setting out a five year plan or a grand vision of a shiny future. I’m finding that there’s a different kind of big-picture, a model of the world that doesn’t break down due to new information but adapts to it, that doesn’t rely on a rigid, linear set of goals but rather sets out a bundle of densely interconnected questions to be explored, and that accelerates its progress as more people with more different viewpoints want to join the party. I’m hoping to find a career creating tools to help others understand and use these principles.
