After this?: Design, ethics and the future of work - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

What comes after the systems that shaped modern work?

Most organisations still operate using models built for a different era. Industrial thinking prioritised efficiency, hierarchy and control. These structures created stability, but they now struggle to adapt to complexity, digital transformation, artificial intelligence and changing human expectations.

After this? explores what comes next.

Drawing on real-world experience inside global organisations, Aleks reframes design as more than a creative discipline. It becomes a way of shaping organisational systems, influencing culture, guiding decision-making and redefining how work is experienced.

This book sits at the intersection of design thinking, systems thinking, organisational culture, leadership and the future of work. It challenges conventional approaches to innovation and transformation, moving beyond tools and frameworks to examine the deeper structures that shape behaviour inside organisations.

At its core is the Triangle of Influence. A framework built on three interconnected principles:

• Ethics. Design is never neutral and carries responsibility
• Systems. Outcomes are shaped by structure, not intention alone
• Cognition. People do not behave as strategy assumes

Together, these forces explain why many transformation programmes fail, and how organisations can begin to evolve in more meaningful ways.

Blending narrative, philosophy and practical insight, the book explores:

• Organisational transformation and change management
• Human-centred design and user experience
• Innovation, creativity and design leadership
• Behavioural science and decision-making
• The impact of AI and digital transformation on work
• Systems thinking in business and leadership

Rather than offering quick solutions, After This? provides a deeper lens for understanding how organisations behave and how they can change.

It is written for leaders, designers, strategists, innovation teams and anyone interested in the future of work.

This is not a book about doing more.

It is a book about seeing differently.
