2. Setting the context Framework and Tools Case Studies Activities Conclusion Agenda

3. Workshop breakup Session 1: Morning session (4 hrs) –Introduction –Frameworks –Case studies –Form groups and brief about the design activity Session 2: Post lunch session (4 hrs) –Each group will have 90 min to complete the activity and come up with a process for approaching the problem space process for research and design –Each group will present their concept along with the thought process –This is will be followed by discussion and conclusion

4. Outcomes A consensus among the participants to embrace the need for design thinking A good understanding about the framework and steps to improve it Networking, sharing and collaborating Steps for taking things forward White paper

5. What is Design for Social Impact?

6. ` Design Social Impact Of Products Services System On Individuals Groups of people The society Which is Immediate Over a period of time Context being Work Places Social Issues Environmental Issues Economic Issues Could be Rural Urban BOP Of Products Interfaces Services Systems Online / Offline By Understanding People Human needs Experience Through Design Research Social Innovations

7. Why Design? “The most common misperception is the word ‘design’. People think of primarily pretty pictures or forms. They don't understand the depth to which design goes—not only in products, but in every aspect of our life. Whether it is the design of a program, a product or some form of communication, we are living in a world that’s totally designed. Somebody made a decision about everything. And it was a design decision.” - Sam Farber, Founder, Copco cookware, OXO kitchen tools, WOVO serveware

27. LEARN ANALYZE IDEATE

28. LEARN 1.Learn the problem space 2.Identify different pointers and parameters within the problem space 3.Choose one or two parameters within the problem space for the next step( you need to have a clear rationale for choosing a certain parameter and not choosing the others)

30. Indoor air pollution Deforestation Carbon emissions Problem Space LEARN

31. 1.Learn the problem space 2.Identify different pointers and parameters within the problem space 3.Choose one or two parameters within the problem space for the next step( you need to have a clear rationale for choosing a certain parameter and not choosing the others) 1. Identify the cause and effect of the selected parameter(s) 2.Brainstorm several approaches and choose one that will be ideal for the context you have in mind. (you need to have a clear rationale for choosing a certain parameter and not choosing the others) ANALYZELEARN
