The latest iterations of the Industrial Revolution have sparked a new transformation - our shared societal desire to not just survive, but thrive. Progress now focuses on pursuing more than material wealth, by creating the conditions for three main constituencies people, organizations, and nature to achieve health, happiness, and prosperity, the key elements of well-being. 

But seemingly persistent problems, paradoxically caused by human behavior and built systems, prevent those three constituencies from pursuing and achieving well-being.  

The Design Lab at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health aims to explore how design frameworks and methods can help solve seemingly intractable problems rooted in incomplete and fast-changing information about the interactions between people, organizations, and nature.
