#WORK_OUT_LOUD PUBLIC SECTOR DESIGN

Design is continuing to play a role in the delivery of public services and in response to critical global challenges. In this conversation, Prof Andrea Siodmok OBE and Mathan Ratinam take a long view on what design brings to this space, based on their extensive work in the field.

Prof Andrea Siodmok is the Dean of the RMIT School of Design. In 2002 Andrea was the Chief Design Officer in the UK Design Council and part of the team that designed the iconic 'double diamond' diagram to represent divergent and convergent thinking in the design process. Andrea founded the UK's first Policy Lab in 2014. Andrea is actively involved in industry, government and education, with particular interest in the intersections between the sectors.
