Teaching design for change

There's an inspiring TED talk from designer Emily Pilloton, describing a real change project in design-led transformation. In her Studio H design class, she's teaching the following principles:

Design through action

Design with, not for

Design systems, not stuff

Document, share, and measure

Start locally and scale globally

Build

That list makes a good start point for most projects. I particularly like the first two points on action and with not for.
