Missed out on Service Design Week 2017? Brought to you by our Philanthropic Partner, PSI, PSI takes a business approach to saving lives by addressing HIV/AIDS, malaria, sanitation and access to contraception in the developing world. They believe it’s time to put health care directly into the hands of consumers. When beneficiaries are treated more like consumers, when they are deeply engaged in program design and when care is brought as close to them as possible, greater health outcomes are achieved, faster.

Attendees participated in a “Design for Good” challenge. Take a look at their presentation.

Missed out on Service Design Week 2017? Human-Centered design has emerged as the industry standard for design research. But might human-centered research, by its nature of putting “the user” in the middle, be in danger of serving only part of those in need of support?

In this workshop, David Weissburg introduced the budding concept of Relationship-Centered Design. Through interactive exercises comparing various depths of design research (customers, users, humans, relationships), observe the differing research outcomes achieved dependent on the methods used. attendees walked away with a new, relationship-centered mindset for navigating the fuzzy front end of innovation.
