Social Innovation

We believe that breakthroughs emerge when we unleash the power of design on some of the world's most pressing social problems. We apply all of our capabilities - from design strategy to service design, product innovation to organizational transformation - to address tough social sector challenges.
 

What

 

Using design to generate transformational and sustainable value to people in communities of need locally and globally.

 

Why

 

Design has the power to address some of the world's greatest systemic inequalities. Whether through the creation of a low-cost computer for children in developing countries, or an on-the-spot diagnostic tool for AIDS, we strive to find ways to extend design's reach to improve people's lives.

 

How

 

By using the same methods of innovation proven to work in the private sector, and applying them to challenges in the social sector, we uncover new, promising solutions. We build smart partnerships and share our ability to lead world-class qualitative research, develop contextually appropriate technology and design for local feasibility as well as global potential.
