DESCRIPTION:In this talk Lucy will share insights from her AHRC-funded res
 earch fellowship in Policy Lab in the Cabinet Office. Policy Lab was set u
 p in April 2014 as part of the Open Policy Making agenda to support civil 
 servants to try out new tools and techniques in policy making including "d
 esign thinking". This development is part of a wider move engaging designe
 rs and design approaches in realms such as social innovation and public se
 ctor design over the past decade. Drawing on literatures in design researc
 h and organisation studies\, Lucy will reflect on what design approaches b
 ring to policy making. \n\nBiography\n\nLucy Kimbell is director of the in
 novation insights hub\, University of the Arts London. In 2014-15 she was 
 AHRC design research fellow in the Cabinet Office and principal research f
 ellow at University of Brighton. Previously Lucy was Clark fellow in desig
 n leadership at Said Business School\, University of Oxford where she rema
 ins an associate fellow. Her publications are around design thinking and s
 ervice design\, combining literatures in design studies and aspects of sci
 ence and technology studies and organisation studies to explore new develo
 pments in design practice as it moves from products and technology to soci
 etal issues and policy. She has jointly led projects for the AHRC to explo
 re the emergence of "social" design and experiment in new ways to do cross
 -discplinary design-oriented research. Lucy initiated and co-convenes a ne
 w group bringing arts and humanities research into policy contexts.
