Thank you for bringing up the matter of "informal" knowledge. It is actually these people, in the real world, who hold the truth and wisdom of everything that's regenerative, inclusive of diversity and embracing growth in its natural time and speed. What I love about service design and any new form of design is the capacity to listen to people... to go on the field, be immersed... and bridge the voice of this informal knowledge to the formal environment. I argue it should be solely a point of design but hey.. at least we do it! Our power resides at opening the eyes of others to things that are relevant for all, to bring awareness to the table, to expand horizons.. yes we need to fight. We need to craft stories that tell the truth in an economically viable way.
In the same time if we see the world in metaphor every organic farmer can teach us how to make profitable regenerative business decisions and every heart-centred kindergarten teacher can show us how to start a community from scratch.
I think as we grow the design field and make "trust the process" the mantra for implementing change, we are slowly changing a culture that's been ever destroying and egocentric.
I am really interested and experimenting with engaging informal voices, especially those of the natural world. I would love to see where this takes us. It's an ancient knowledge we forgot and need to slowly recover.
