Design+Strategies (D+S) is a research group in Strategic Design of the Design Department in Politecnico di Milano. It applies a strategic approach to design that is systemic and integrated: setting up and running (research) projects by embracing different perspectives in observing the present towards possible futures. D+S experiments at various depth levels of the innovation contexts, aiming to support the transformation processes. It tackles complex transition challenges in public and private organizations at local and international levels by enabling design culture.

Design+Strategies performs research, applied research, and training activities, focusing and exploring the areas of design in organization, design for sustainability transition, and cross-fertilization with creative industries. Design+Strategies lives thanks to a long-established set of experiences shared among professors, researchers, and designers surrounded by a network of professionals, scholars, and practitioners inside and outside academia.
