Quotes by Dan Hill (?)

“As challenges become more complex the appropriate strategy is one that mixes new ingredients into the soup and then waits to see what kind of flavours come out.”
― Dan Hill, Dark matter and trojan horses. A strategic design vocabulary.

“We need a sense of how transitions might not be violent ruptures, or in some cases a sad, inexorable demise. We need to find a new approach to complex interdependent problems, given that our primary institutions are increasingly ill-fitted to doing so.”
― Dan Hill, Dark matter and trojan horses. A strategic design vocabulary.

“The potency of design is related directly to these structural/organisational matters, after all, particularly in respect of strategic design. The consultancy model simply does not have the necessary freedom to radically change the brief, to work the context, to search for strategic solutions outside of its engagement.”
― Dan Hill, Dark matter and trojan horses. A strategic design vocabulary.
