Important for this playbook

The Restructure strategy holds significant relevance in design as it allows for subtle yet impactful alterations to physical or social environments, influencing behavior patterns.

Designers turn to this strategy when seeking to facilitate desired behaviors by modifying the context in which users interact with products or services. Situations where users’ behaviors are influenced by environmental cues or social norms are ideal for employing Restructure patterns.

This category aligns closely with theoretical frameworks such as social influence theories, which emphasize the profound impact of surroundings on behavior. By strategically restructuring environments, designers can effectively shape user behavior and drive desired outcomes.
