The United Nations, Australia Post, and governments in the UK,
Finland, Taiwan, France, Brazil, and Israel are just a few of the
organizations and groups utilizing design to drive social change.
Grounded by a global survey in sectors as diverse as public health,
urban planning, economic development, education, humanitarian
response, cultural heritage, and civil rights, Design for Social
Innovation captures these stories and more through 45 richly
illustrated case studies from six continents. From advocating to
understanding and everything in between, these cases demonstrate
how designers shape new products, services, and systems while
transforming organizations and supporting individual growth. How is
this work similar or different around the world? How are designers
building sustainable business practices with this work? Why are
organizations investing in design capabilities? What evidence do we
have of impact by design? Leading practitioners and educators,
brought together in seven dynamic roundtable discussions, provide
context to the case studies. Design for Social Innovation is a
must-have for professionals, organizations, and educators in
design, philanthropy, social innovation, and entrepreneurship. This
book marks the first attempt to define the contours of a global
overview that showcases the cultural, economic, and organizational
levers propelling design for social innovation forward today.
