ABOUT

APPLIED
CLUMSINESS

is an emerging practical design, policy and management approach that applies the social science concept of ‘clumsiness’ (non-elegance, pluralism) to engage the wicked problem of stakeholder diversity inclusively.

Through guided framework tools, users are empowered to sense-make diverse and conflicting stakeholder preferences, uncover and anticipate blind spots and tensions in policy or design responses, and formulate strategies for pluralistic solutions to achieve desired outcomes.
