    This study looked at the practices of the systems design team as a case study when the goals of the local product design process and the strategic level design process are combined at the practice level. The combination of practices for effectiveness goals was approached by combining the traditions of sociocultural learning and the methods and concepts of systems design. The study sought to understand team design practices in relation to social impact. At the same time, the mechanisms for learning the team's relational design practices were examined. The research context was a four-person system design team consisting of product designers and strategic-level designers who participated in a training program that taught the skills of social change. At the same time, the team aimed to promote their own dual-purpose (local and strategic) planning process. The first part of this study examined the combination of design processes at different levels of effectiveness at the level of rough routines. They were examined by ethnographic video analysis. The second part focused on two different mechanisms for linking effectiveness objectives. The aim was to look at the role of team members in the scenes. It used as a method a rag rug technique that visualizes design practices and levels of social impact, as well as an interaction analysis of team discussions. As a result of the study, it was found that the systems design team sought to expand the local product and practice to meet strategic goals and to shape the strategic planning process closer to product design practices and goals. However, the strategic expansion of the local product design process was not successful due to the external performance targets of the process. Instead, the strategic planning process was shaped and, towards the end, it was accompanied by the practice of developing concrete policy guidance alongside the practice of parallel strategic problem definition. The parallel advancement of solution and problem-based design deepened the team’s internal knowledge practices. Although the results of the case study cannot be generalized outside the studied context, it would be worthwhile for the systems.
