Design 2 change!

LSDP has developed an instrument to stimulate ‘change’ within organisations. Through a series of design activities we reflect on our daily work roles in a playful way, which leads the participants to learn how to use their creative skills at work, making them more effective in their role.
In November we worked closely with ‘2switch’, an Arnhem based Dutch company specialized in the development and re-integration of special people into society.
The success of this project was accelerated by the inspiring participant’s willingness to adjust their talents into our present and challenging world needs.
We are very proud to introduce this ‘change’-concept which contains the values of our vision: Changing an organisation starts by changing its people, each and every member of the team. We focus on those people, since they make the profit, the planet and of course the pleasure!

Sustainable production workshop de Regenboog Groep

We developed this year two more great products within the desycled criteria. We first organized a brainstorm session where we thought and chose several products ideas together with the makers and the workshop leaders. Our goal was to have great product ideas for both target group (consumers and homeless people). We have now a list of 15 potential ideas. To start we selected the first two of the ranking list and we designed them. We also trained the workshop leaders into the design aspects of these products. Take a look at the project weblog: http://desyclingderegenboog.blogspot.com/ to get deeper in the process.


The desycling workshop of the Regenboog group in Amsterdam has developed an effective rhythm. This project has proven that patience in execution and persistence does lead to results in these type of circumstances. The original idea behind this workshop has motivated visitors to the shelter to commit long-term to the project and to go forward with their personal development. The shelter itself has picked up the basis put down by LSDP and now is in the process of taking this project to subsequent levels of execution and produce new products with its own resources.
