How to deal with value change as a designer/engineer?

How to deal with value change as a designer/engineer? You can now read it in this white paper!

Designing for values – like well-being, justice and transparency – has been gaining increasing popularity in the past decades. Different design approaches, tools and guidelines have been developed to take values systematically into account during the development of new technologies.

But here is a fundamental challenge for any such approach: although values are relatively stable, they do sometimes change over time. What types of value change exist, and how can engineers and designers deal with them? These are the main questions that we address in a white paper, which is a result of the project: Design for Changing Values: A Theory of Value Change in Sociotechnical Systems (ERC Advanced Grant, 2018-2023) – Delft Design for Values Institute.
