How could designers contribute to organization design?

I am working on my research about collaboration platform development for social innovation.

The question was initiated from the exploration on open innovation or crowdsourcing approach for social innovation.

According to literature review, organizational context should be considered in developing information systems for distributed innovation, and organizational design researchers are also introducing the new organization design architectures for open innovation.

In this context, my interest in "the role of designers in social innovation" was extended to "the role of designers in organization design for open innovation."

I have found some articles which claim the significance of design thinking or design approach in management, but most of them are from management field. They usually imply that "managers need to adopt the advantages of design thinking or design approach" rather than "designers should contribute to organization design in their own unique way." I would like to find some evidence to support my research direction.
