## Tackling complex problems through design

Hi, Kevin here.

As you might know if you follow this blog, I’ve been working with the [Design & Critical Thinking community](https://designcriticalthinking.com/?ref=kevinrichard.ch) on an approach to tackle complex intertwined challenges. This translated in the form of a series of articles titled ***“The explorer’s metaphor”*** \[[1](https://www.kevinrichard.ch/the-explorers-metaphor-part-1/)\]\[[2](https://www.kevinrichard.ch/the-explorers-metaphor-part-2/)\]\[[3](https://www.kevinrichard.ch/the-explorers-metaphor-part-3/)\]\[[4](https://www.kevinrichard.ch/the-explorers-metaphor-part-4/)\]\[[5](https://www.kevinrichard.ch/the-explorers-metaphor-part-5/)\].

We have recently put them together in an online mini-book format, easier to navigate and use as a guide to your own exploration, as well as a presentation video of the framework.
