Design for Collectives — In Conversation with Kathy Peach: Collective Intelligence for Social Change

In this guest episode of Design for Collectives, host Sonja Oliveira, Associate Dean and Professor in Architecture and Sustainability Design Innovation at the University of Strathclyde, is joined by Kathy Peach, Director of the Centre for Collective Intelligence Design at Nesta, the UK’s innovation agency focused on delivering social change.

Kathy’s work explores how collective intelligence, combining human knowledge, data, and technology, can help tackle complex global challenges. She is the lead author of the Collective Intelligence Design Playbook and works in partnership with organisations including the United Nations Development Programme and the International Federation of the Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies.

Drawing on a career spanning international development, public health, disability advocacy, and global policy, this conversation explores how collective intelligence can shape better decision-making, more inclusive systems, and new approaches to social innovation.

A thought-provoking discussion about collaboration, technology, and designing solutions that work at scale.
