We’ve worked with managers of large and small companies, with engineers, architects, planners, project managers, product designers and manufacturers. We’ve advised policy makers, university educators, professional and non-government organisations.

We have highly developed skills as researchers, writers, presenters, advocates, communicators and designers.

We bring considerable capability in social, cultural, economic and environmental analysis to the tasks we do.

We are not frightened to present radical ideas or to engage in rigorous thought. We do not define our forms of creativity by the clichés of the day (thinking outside the square, from left field, lateral thinking etc).

We are just as practical as we are creative.

In sum Team D/E/S is about creating a new kind of practice that brings a variety of design and management activities together to create something with a greater ability to deliver the conditions of sustainment than existing design practices.
