About Changemakers: How Leaders Can Design Change In An
Product Description Today's radically complex problems require people to lead with design. Changemakers is an essential playbook for designers and nondesigners who want to drive change at work, at home, and in their communities. Groundbreaking designers Maria Giudice and Christopher Ireland —armed with insights from some of today's top minds in business, tech, and social justice —offer a pragmatic, people-centered approach to change. Review "Changemakers is a revelation. Maria Giudice and Christopher Ireland have written a breathtaking book on what it really takes to create meaningful, sustainable innovation in today's world. They have deftly created a brave and brilliant manifesto on how to create change that makes a difference and makes perfect sense." —Debbie Millman, Host, Design Matters "Maria Giudice and Christopher Ireland provide an expert guide for leaders who are encountering resistance in their ongoing change efforts. Whether that is in the work they lead, the teams they manage, or the competitive space they are charged to define against all odds. Changemakers has been crafted by two extremely gifted ‘changemakers’ —their combined gifts are certain to nourish, protect, and heal." —John Maeda, Technologist "In backing startups as an investor, I increasingly see founders identifying design as the key for realizing the better future they are envisioning. This book offers an actionable framework to be intentional, inclusive, iterative, and effective by using design as a superpower in affecting change." —Anne Dwane, Co-founder and Partner, Village Global “Not only are Maria Giudice and Christopher Ireland two of our profession’s best design-transformationalists, they have enlisted a who’s who of design in business to share what’s really required to be a changemaker. They dissect the mindsets, heartsets, capabilities, and approaches required to make meaningful change in an increasingly complex, volatile world.” —Keith Yamashita, Founder SYPartners and The Kyu Collective "Change is never easy nor inevitable—especially for those creating it. However, Maria and Christopher have charted the paths and created a map, complete with loot boxes and land mines, plus all of the tools to chart your own course to progress.” —Nathan Shedroff, Associate Professor, CCA and author, Blind Spot "I could not recommend this book more. Changemakers is your guide to making real change happen in any organization, through designing and co-creating change together with those who will be impacted by it, and building support for that change where it most matters.” —Cindy Gallop, Founder & CEO, MakeLoveNotPorn “Change is hard, and leading change can be fraught with peril. This book is like a decoder ring for anyone seeking to make positive changes in their organization or community.” —Katrina Alcorn, Design Executive, Author of Maxed Out: Moms on the Brink About the Author Innovator, artist, protagonist, activist, and positive provocateur, Maria Giudice has pursued a vision of intelligent, elegant, people–centered design throughout her professional life. Her grasp of the pragmatic, the authentic, and the essential have kept her at the forefront of design and business for over 30 years. When Facebook acquired Hot Studio, a design agency, founder Maria Guidice felt some sense of validation. For some, design is an after–thought. The acquisition sent a message to companies all over, "Design is strategic. It’s not just execution." Her expertise lies in fostering a vision and bringing people together to execute it. She knows how to overcome team silos and lead with influence instead of authority. Researcher, strategist, idea generator, and alliance builder: Christopher Ireland started her career with the notion that businesses could benefit from a better understanding of people and culture. Her ability to create simple explanations of complex human behavior and to translate those insights into effective design and development strategies attract
