Designing with Death

Death

SCR 1 - FEB 2024

Designing with Death is about embracing death as a fact of life and a core part of healthy regeneration. We see it applied in nature all the time like in the way we see a fire burn on country that incinerates bushland foliage but also cracks open the seeds for new helthy growth to shoot through meeting some kind of natural and necessary equilibrium. But, do we see it applied in organizational strategy?

The Designing with Death project challenges the status quo and encourages leaders to bring death into the board room and with intention achieve what you've set out to achieve as an organization before an intentional death date instead of chasing perpetual growth.
