Description
- What problems do we observe in Geelong?
- How might we apply Strategic Design to address these?
The Geelong Design Leaders’ Forum (GDLF) is an alliance of leaders from organisations in Geelong that believe in the power of Strategic Design as a catalyst for creating real and lasting positive change to social, economic, environmental, and governance outcomes in our community.
Strategic design combines design thinking and strategy to address complex problems and create innovative solutions. It involves interdisciplinary collaboration, a human-centered approach, and holistic view of systems to drive meaningful change and achieve sustainable outcomes.
As we look to Geelong's future as a UNESCO City of Design, this network helps to strengthen the capability of leaders and designers to imagine, communicate, and create new ideas and solutions for a better Geelong, and a better world.
Working together to identify shared challenges and opportunities, the Forum meets quarterly to discuss, prioritise, plan and activate Strategic Design capability building initiatives that can lift the potential of our community to develop innovative solutions to some of our most pressing issues and exciting opportunities.
Drawing on the shared resources and knowledge of participants, the GDLF is a non-political, networked organisation that focuses on achieving its goals by collaborating on:
- Strategic design challenges and opportunities beyond the capability of individual organisations to tackle on their own
- Co-ordination between partners and agencies to work together on strategic design initiatives
- The need to create lasting and meaningful impact building strategic design capability, capacity and impact in the Geelong region to improve social, economic, environmental, or governance outcomes.
