While design does a lot of good, it’s important to think about its consequences. Political polarisation, consumerism, addiction to our phones and social media, waste and misinformation are just a few of the many problems that the design discipline has contributed to. And today, with the ever-growing challenges of the modern world, the layers of complexity are multiplying.
Designit’s Do No Harm framework is a practical approach to addressing the potential negative consequences of design work; for people, the environment and our society.
This hands-on workshop is suited to design and design-adjacent practitioners where you’ll get to explore:
- What are the boundaries of the harm you should consider?
- What is the role of the team and how can it be best equipped at preventing harm?
- How can you identify risks beyond an individual and user-centric focus?
- How can you move forward when you have a big list of risks but limited time?
- How can you craft the most fitting measures to mitigate your prioritised risks and ensure those actions will be taken forward?
