NextD creates lenses to understand design (yes design thinking is part of design) in the 21st century.

NextD is now and has always been a SenseMaking / ChangeMaking initiative NOT a design promotion initiative. In 2002, we described the traditional model of design leadership as an ancient burning platform.

Today trying to have a conversation about design or design thinking is a relatively meaningless exercise without some kind of SenseMaking framework that connects, not to disciplines, but rather to challenge scale.

Not everybody gets it yet, and the truth is some might not want to, but what design thinking is and does differs significantly depending on challenge geography. Design Thinking in Design 1 is very different from Design Thinking in Design 3.

These SenseMaking frameworks helped us realize and describe similarities and differences, what’s new and what’s not. Realizations that emerged once we had the geographies framework include “Skill to Scale,” “The Rise of Visual SenseMaking” and “Adaptable Inquiry”.

Today, much of the design community including graduate and post graduate design education remains focused on Design 1 and 2.
