Can HCD Help with Complex Sociotechnical Systems? (Video)

Don Norman -

My work today focuses upon design a complex sociotechnical systems, with an emphasis on healthcare. This hour video describes my thoughts as of 2015.

Also see my papers DesignX and Why DesignX? . A follow up of my talk and those papers is being published by the new design journal, She Ji.
