Design Systems as Facilitators.
summary
Claims that design systems function as facilitators that create resilient, cross‑team feedback loops and enable organizational autopoiesis. Specific tools named include the focus conversation method (objective, reflective, interpretative, decisional), Double Diamond and a family‑therapy change model; case example: Taiwan’s Sun Flower Movement mobilizes citizens in less than five minutes and sustains a month‑long parliament occupation using simple live‑streaming and facilitation rather than exotic software. Practical advice: build what’s needed (PDF, Sketch, or component repo), measure outcomes not component counts.
