Design Thinking + Social Change

Check out this SlideShare Presentation:

In this slideshare project, the main topic is how to get design thinking, if not to change the world, at least to help improve the current ways to make it a better place. Indeed, design thinking is focused on sharing innovative methods & ideas to find solutions that are concordant with customers needs & expectations. Thus, why not take it out of the corporate world to apply it to social change... be it through improving a community's situation, offering new ways to put up with being sick or making people get involved & step forward to share their thoughts with a general social welfare purpose !

Crowdsourcing at work

The concept consists into creating a company blog where the employees could identify issues (linked to their product that sell the least, to unexploited niches, ..)and propose solutions.

The portraits of the chosen solvers are also published on the company company's blog with an article about them and how they came up with an innovative solution.
