Накратко на български

Дизайнерското мислене в армиите на Дания, Швеция, Полша и Франция анализира как офицерите търсят нови подходи при планирането на операции. Това помага за подобряване на военното образование и управлението на конфликти чрез по-гъвкав подход към сложните проблеми.

Design Thinking in Defence Organisations: The Promises and Dangers of Intellectual Emancipation in the Management of Violence

With design, military officers seek to fundamentally shift their perspective over an issue for transitioning to a more holistic perspective opening up new pathways to address this issue. Design implies both sense-making over an unknown, complex or ambiguous issue as well as the art and science of novelty for addressing this issue. This research is particularly important as design is applied by military officers including some in senior leadership positions. Design is shaping the management of violence in the planning of operations and there is a lack of literature documenting its transformational impacts across NATO members and partners and in the countries officers intervene. This project sought to fill this gap by developing a sociologically informed analysis of design in four selected case studies: Danish, Swedish, Polish and French Armed Forces. This approach, and the knowledge generated from it, are contributing to guidance for better design practices including in professional military education through dissemination and teaching. In conclusion, the research identified key conditions making designerly ways of thinking possible such as crisis contexts, a lack of ressources and open-mindedness to diverse views to name a few. The research observed a strong counter-intuitive relationship between armed forces that are more doctrine-informed such as Swedish Armed Forces and those that are less doctrine informed such as Danish Armed Forces. The most doctrine-informed organisations are generally more receptive to design since their organization tend to follow doctrinal trends in the United States including the development of design doctrine since the mid-2000s. However, the less doctrine-informed organisations tend to have a greater range of individual using design with an educational background often from the United Sates.

Цел на проекта

The DESIGN project will conduct sociological study of the relationship between radical ideas, change, and violence in defence organisations based on the ongoing transnational diffusion of second generation design across four NATO member and partner organisations: NATO Defence College, the Royal Danish Defence College, the Design Centre for Excellence (Poland) and Swedish Defence University. Design means the art of transforming reality into a preferred one by opening conceptual possibilities that were unthinkable before. This add-on to defence planning is paradoxical as it seeks to leverage the critical and creative capacities of officers at the expense of the very principles sustaining modern defence organisations. The project will investigate what made this development possible and what differences, if any, design is making to those managing violence and to those being managed by violence? To provide unique answers to these questions, UCPH Centre for Experimental Economics (CEE) will provide training to adapt field experiment methods to sociological approaches to better observe design in practice. Using this new method promises data challenging deeply held assumptions on the relationships between ideas, change and violence in International Relations and Design Studies. A broader impact can also be expected by exposing the promises and dangers of design thinking to both users and stakeholders. I will significantly benefit from undertaking the action at UCPH as it is uniquely equipped to develop the interdisciplinary assemblage required. The project will benefit from being located at the intersection of three leading research centres in the Department of Political Science: the Centre for Military Studies (CMS), the Centre for Advanced Security Theory (CAST) and the Centre for Resolution of International Conflicts (CRIC). Beyond the University, Copenhagen is an ideal location to learn from its avant-garde design movement in private, public and education sectors.
