This lecture by the instructor focuses on designing for social innovation within the context of the new space economy. The lecture emphasizes the importance of understanding systemic thinking, identifying patterns and trends, recognizing underlying structures, and challenging mental models to drive transformative change. Through a practical tool called 'The Iceberg', the lecture guides the audience in analyzing events, patterns, underlying structures, and mental models to effectively address social challenges. The lecture also explores influencing goals, trade-offs, co-benefits, and the total influence exerted and received in complex systems, using real-world examples and data from the Global Sustainable Development Report 2019.
