Michael Grigoriev on using collective intelligence to solve problems
The Best of the World's Creativity/Recorded 2013
A close reading, kept within reach.
Michael Grigoriev takes design thinking as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Canada in 2013, the conversation is grounded in Michael's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Design strategist Michael Grigoriev believes that collectively we’re more intelligent than any expert and need to draw on this intelligence to tackle problems.
