Design for Policymaking chapter in upcoming Usability for Government Systems book

April 16, 2012 | Posted by Jess McMullin on Advocacy, Writing | 0 comments

Last fall I wrote a chapter on Design for Policymaking in the upcoming book Usability in Government Systems: UX Design for Citizens and Public Servants edited by Elizabeth Buie and Dianne Murray.

The chapter underscores the fundamental reality that to improve services, we have to work at a policy level in order to design for better experiences for citizens and other stakeholders. I’ll be sharing more ideas on design for policymaking here in the coming weeks. Thanks especially to Elizabeth for inviting me to contribute!

The book is scheduled to be released by Morgan Kaufmann in May. You can preorder it from Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, and Amazon.co.uk.

About Citizen Experience

The Centre for Citizen Experience explores how to improve government and the broader public sector through the power of design innovation. This includes design thinking, strategic design, systemic design, and service design. These design practices draw on customer experience, social sciences, rapid prototyping, business strategy, behavioural economics, and information visualization to address complex social and organizational challenges.

Fundamentally, design is about improving how things work for people. In the public sector, that means applying design to service delivery and strategy, governance, policy and frontline programs, growing internal design capability, changing culture and supporting public service transformation.

Please get in touch to discuss how design innovation can make a meaningful impact in your organization.
