ABOUT ROWAN CONWAY
I have over 20 years’ experience in innovation, research, communications, engagement and strategy. As a researcher, strategic designer and innovation practitioner, I help set up and lead innovation labs that use these tools to support sustainability transitions. I am currently based at both the LSE and UCL, and in 2022, I founded my own innovation and change studio to deploy strategic design methods to the grand challenges of our time: climate transitions and innovation for sustainability. Transformation by Design Ltd supports transformative innovation projects with industry, government, academia and the third sector - often forming and bringing collaborative trans-disciplinary groups together to collectively drive change. My portfolio of projects feature two common themes: Mission Oriented Innovation (focusing on catalysing collaborative strategy, roadmapping and portfolio design) and sustainability transitions (focusing on designing experimentation pathways and prototyping new mechanisms to enable rapid and transformative shifts in practice). Project partners include the Royal Society of Chemistry, the UK Government Department for Education, the Lloyds Register Foundation and the European Commission. In addition to my business, I also teach public entrepreneurship and strategic design in different institutions: the Blavatnik School of Government in Oxford, the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, and the UCL School of Management.
