Characteristics of Changemakers


The Design Council created the Characteristics of Changemakers series to help demystify the essential elements of systems change and how design thinking can equip people with the ideas, tools, and resources needed to tackle systemic challenges head-on.


The series is framed around the Design Council's Systemic Design Framework, delving into the four key characteristics of changemakers: System thinker, connector and convener, designer and maker, leader and storyteller.


In episode 3, listen to Deborah Szebeko talk about the role of the Designer and Maker, sharing insights into the qualities that empower individuals working in public services to lead system change.
