It is a stylized fact that the policymaking process is bounded by context and politics. Policymakers and public managers are rarely conceived as “designers” in the same sense as product or service designers. Increasingly, however, there is a realization that even within these constraints, there are degrees of freedom and room for creativity that policymakers and public managers can exercise to ensure effective policy design, that is, policies which are likely to succeed in being adopted, implemented, and possibly even replicated. These degrees of freedom allow policymakers and public managers to embed design features such as empathy, behaviour change, technology, and experimentation into policies and also factor in complexities and uncertainties to ensure robustness and resilience in the delivery of the policy. Importantly, the design approach to public policy underscores the importance of collaboration and co-production in the policymaking process, wherein non-state actors such as the private sector, civil society, academics, international organizations, and so on play a key role in informing, shaping, and designing effective public policies.
The programme is structured to take participants through the key frameworks of design thinking, behavioural thinking, and futures thinking and apply them to real-life policy problems spanning across different policy domains. The programme will closely focus on the following aspects:
The course will use case studies, in-class exercises, group activities, guest sessions, and field visit to deliver the content. The programme will provide a unique opportunity to the participants to apply their learnings from the course during the “policy design sprint”, where groups of participants will design policy solutions to address real-life problems.
The programme welcomes participants from central and state governments, public sector, private sector, and non-profit sector. The programme is structured to be relevant to participants across policy domains. It would help participants from non-government and non-public sector backgrounds to have certain level of exposure to or interface with policymaking to grasp and apply the learnings.
