The RISD Strategic Design Program (SDP) was developed to grow the capacities necessary for professionals of all disciplines to flourish in environments and organizations where uncertainty and complexity is the norm. The program will immerse a cohort of Infosys employees in a design studio setting modelled on RISD’s 140+ years of teaching excellence. In Studio, students will collaboratively develop practices for tackling today’s most complex, systematic challenges. Graduates of the program will leave with the capacity to conceive of design, and build their own tools to create more robust solutions and improve individual and organizational decision making. They will be able to discover new unforeseen sources of value to successfully tackle the systematic challenges facing communities, businesses, and humanity.
"Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context - a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, and an environment in a city plan"
