"Dorenda Britten
Director / Design Strategist / Design Thinking


Shaping ideas that will shape tomorrow

I’ve always been captivated by the potential of good ideas to transform organisations and change lives. It’s led me to my life’s work – helping organisations shape ideas that will shape tomorrow.

10 years ago, I developed the Ten Design Principle Framework. This helps organisations develop a realistic design-led strategy that empowers teams to create unique products and services to delight their customers.

Design thinking is often considered complex. It doesn’t have to be.

Through executive and board-level mentoring, innovation team building and project scoping and implementation, I bring clarity and simplicity to design-led strategy.

The NZ Assumption.... dream, make, create, send out to the world and hope for the best...
What differentiates us? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata....

The systems we are using now are not doing what we need to do for all for our place... moving from beyond looking at ourselves to looking at other..

Design in the intent to create something that didn't exist before - an object, a system or a service... design thinking... taking the BIG step into design thinking... about people!!!!!! Creating value for people. Creatng a space for more people to work together to create solutions.  Diversity is essential to design thinking.... 

Wonderful diversity... about the way we are wired, the way we structure questions and challenge the status quo...

It is not a comfortable space - being outside the square...

We are a mixed bunch - clarity of purpose...

First step in design thinking:
clarity of purpose, what are we here, tension is inevitable.. good argument is what we NEED!
What are our goals here?  What are our challenges? Our opportunities...

Separating ideas from EGO - crucial.... exploration and refinement...

Value aligned with our purpose... that's what we must be about...

Sharing the personal story of her late brother John Britten...

I have a dream...

Are we going round in circles in New Zealand or are we challenging and going outside the square...
We have the opportunities and resources to be different... iit will require new tools, new thinking.... Design thinking - t bring people together in differnet ways... Celebrate our diversity and show the world how to do it - showing the world how to live together... can we become teachers and leaders to the world... can we....
