Designing Change in Emergency Management: What is design? Part 2.

Introduction

In part one, design was presented as an innate human capacity already being exercised by the emergency management community and framed as a process of bringing something new into the world  to transform “existing situations into preferred ones” (Simon, 1988, p. 66; Nelson & Stolterman, 2012). Here in part two this understanding will be expanded to include a concern for what the designer designs; the outcome of a design process.
