Bogen DesignWISE tager afsæt i en kritik af den lineære brief-til-løsning-tænkning, der er udbredt i designpraksis, nemlig antagelsen om, at der findes en lige vej fra opgave til løsning. Bogens argument er, at denne tænkning kan stå i vejen for en dybere, regenerativ forandring, fordi den sjældent giver plads til at forstå de bredere konsekvenser af vores valg og de komplekse systemiske sammenhænge, de indgår i.DesignWISE tilbyder et helhedsorienteret alternativ i form af et cirkulært beslutningsværktøj, der er forankret i design tænkning, systemisk ledelse og oprindelige visdomstraditioner. Frem for at bevæge sig lineært fra trin til trin inviterer DesignWISE designere, ledere og teams ind i en cyklus af refleksion, evaluering og fornyelse.Bogens grundantagelse er, at meningsfuld forandring begynder indefra, i koblingen mellem indre hensigt og ydre handling. Ved at dyrke nærvær og nysgerrighed kan vi åbne nye kilder til indsigt og bevæge os ud over de vante designtilgangeDesignWISE er både en teori og metode. Som teoretisk ramme tilbyder den tankemodeller og begreber til at praktisere planetær designtænkning og som metode konkrete redskaber til at omsætte denne tænkning i designbeslutninger - uanset om man arbejder alene eller i teams.Bogen henvender sig til alle, der ønsker at designe med større visdom, dybde og en større opmærksomhed på de planetære sammenhænge, vi indgår i og er en del. Fordi hver eneste designbeslutning er i sidste ende en beslutning om planetens fremtid.Bogen blev første gang udgivet i 2024 og udkommer nu i anden udgave.…

DesignWISE challenges the linear logic that has long shaped design practice. Too often, we move from brief to solution without pausing to understand the wider consequences of our choices or the systemic relations they affect. In doing so, we overlook opportunities for deeper, regenerative change.
This book introduces DesignWISE as a 360-degree alternative―a circular decision-making tool grounded in design thinking, systemic leadership, and indigenous wisdom traditions. Rather than progressing step by step, DesignWISE invites designers, leaders, and teams into a continuous cycle of reflection, evaluation, and renewal.
At the centre of the method is a wheel: a structure inspired by the medicine wheel, encouraging holistic awareness, multiple perspectives, and a stronger connection between inner intention and outer impact. Each phase of the wheel opens a space for introspection, imagination, and responsibility, helping us understand how our decisions resonate across people, organisations, and the planet.
DesignWISE ultimately argues that meaningful transformation begins within. By cultivating presence, curiosity, and mindfulness, we can unlock new sources of insight and move beyond conventional approaches to design. This book offers both a conceptual framework and a practical guide for anyone seeking to design with greater wisdom, depth, and planetary awareness.
The DesignWISE Collective brings together designers, thinkers, and changemakers who believe in design as a force for systemic transformation. We’re here to co-create a new paradigm for design―one that begins not with the user, but with the planet.
This is the Second Edition of the Danish-language book first published in 2024 and now out of print.
