The power of Design
At a time when broad prosperity cannot be taken for granted and major changes are needed to meet societal challenges, smart interventions and applications are indispensable. This agenda was developed to strengthen the knowledge base of design power and encourage better use of design power. Design power is the ability that design provides to develop appropriate interventions. This capability is created through the use of an effective mix of specific knowledge and methods, skills and mindset.

Why and for whom
The The Power of Design Agenda serves diverse audiences with different functions, including researchers, creative professionals and businesses, funders, project and program initiators, and educators. It acts as a valuable guide for everyone involved in the creative industries to collectively strengthen and better utilize design power.

THREE AGENDAS

The launch of the Agenda Ontwerpkracht (The Power of Design Agenda) is part of the broader effort of CLICKNL and the Creative Industry Top Sector. Together they are responsible for three coherent agendas: the Knowledge and Innovation Agenda Mission-Driven Innovation (KIA MV) which has already been launched, the Research Agenda Key Enabling Methodologies (the KEM agenda), and the Agenda Ontwerpkracht (The Power of Design Agenda). These agendas contribute to developing interventions for societal challenges, strengthening the knowledge base of creative professionals and researchers, and promoting the economic position of the creative industry. The KIA MV forms the foundation, while the other two agendas provide more specific interpretation. The new KEM agenda (2024 - 2027) is under development.
