We aim to understand how public sector organizations practise 'design thinking' respond changing demands and develop alternative courses of action. The literature on design thinking is largely prescriptive; few studies analyse change actually brought about through situated practices. Design scholars have therefore argued that such practices themselves should take centre stage as objects analysis. an ethnographic approach studying the journey Dutch Health Inspectorate, using participatory...

In Dutch healthcare, new market mechanisms have been introduced on an experimental basis in attempt to contain costs and improve quality. Informed by a constructivist approach, we demonstrate that such experiments are not neutral testing grounds.
