The  Problem  

What  problem  are  you  trying  to  solve?    Focus  on  a  challenge  someone  else  faces  (not  what  you  want  to  make).      Why  is  this  is  an  important  problem  to  solve?    

Page 5: GLS 2014: WEx Design Jam - a foundation for work with impact

What  problem  are  you  trying  to  solve?    Why  does  it  need  a  solu,on?    Solo?  Write  down  the  most  important  problem  you’re  trying  to  solve.  Share  it  with  the  person  next  to  you.    Team?  Come  to  a  consensus  on  the  most  important  problem  your  team  is  trying  to  solve.  Write  it  down.

We  know:  •  MRI  machines  look  big  

and  scary  •  Sick  people  use  an  MRI  

machines  •  Children  are  oYen  

sedated  •  Parents  worry  about  their  

kids      

 

•  Some,mes  appointments  are  cancelled  if  anesthesiologists  aren’t  available  

•  Doctor’s  offices  are  oYen  cold,  sterile  and  not  very  friendly  or  comfor,ng.  

Problem:  GeEng  an  MRI  is  scary  and  stressful  for  children  and  their  caregivers.        

What  you  know,  what  you  don’t  know

What  do  you  know  about  the  problem?    1.  Write  down  what  you  know  about  the  

problem.  (2  min)  2.  Create  a  web  of  what  you  know  and  show

What  you  know,  what  you  don’t  know      Problem:  GeEng  an  MRI  is  scary  and  stressful  for  children  and  their  caregivers.    We  don’t  know:  •  How  children  perceive  the  MRI  machine.  •  How  children  interact  with  the  MRI  machine.  •  What  children  want  or  need  when  geEng  an  MRI.  •  What  parents  and  children  are  told  about  the  MRI  machine.

Write  down  what  you  don’t  know  about  the  problem  in  the  form  of  a  ques,on.  Post  ques,ons  on  the  wall  using  separate  s,cky  notes.    Next,  post  any  answers  you  have  on  s,cky  notes.  There  can  be  mul,ple  answers  (or  none!)  for  each  ques,on.    Read  the  ques,ons  and  answers  out  loud.  Iden,fy  which  ques,ons  s,ll  need  to  be  answered.    Discuss  and  document:  

•  How  will  we  answer  these  ques,ons?  •  Where  can  we  get  more  informa,on?  •  Who  can  help  us?  •  What  skills/resources  do  we  need?  •  How  will  we  document  informa,on?  

What  you  know,  what  you  don’t  know

Stakeholder  maps  

Page 14: GLS 2014: WEx Design Jam - a foundation for work with impact

Create  two  lists:    1.  Who  is  most  effected  by  the  problem?  (target  

audience)    2.  Who  else  is  related  to  the  problem?    With  your  team  or  neighbor:  Discuss  your  target  audience  and  begin  to  sketch  out  your  stakeholder  map.  

•  Draw  a  symbol  of  a  person  for  each  different  type  of  stakeholder.  •  Write  a  label  describing  their  role  or  ,tle  •  Draw  lines  with  arrows  connec,ng  the  stakeholders.  •  Write  a  label  on  the  line  to  describe  rela,onships.  •  Circle  and  label  related  groupings.

Persona  Profiles  

Page 16: GLS 2014: WEx Design Jam - a foundation for work with impact

Choose  the  primary  stakeholder  and  create  a  persona  profile.  Make  profiles  for  others  who  you  expect  will  impact  your  project.      Write  a  personal  descrip,on  for  each  including  a  name,  a  picture,  and  descrip,ve  quali,es.  •  What  are  their  needs  and  goals?  •  Summarize  their  mindset  with  a  memorable  quote.  •  Tips:  avoid  stereotypes,  use  illustra,ons,  ask  for  other’s  input  and

Next  Steps:  Goals  

1.  Write  down  the  goals  for  the  project  on  individual  s,cky  notes.  Use  as  many  as  you  need  and  make  sure  you  include  personal,  team  and  client  goals.  

2.  Read  all  the  goals  aloud  and  begin  to  organize  them  based  on  common  themes.    Draw  circles  around  themes  and  label  them.    

3.  Team  members  then  put  a  star  next  to  their  two  most  important  goals.  

4.  Look  at  the  statements  that  didn’t  get  stars.  Discuss  why  no  one  voted  for  them.  

5.  The  statement  with  the  most  stars  is  your  primary  goal.  The  ones  with  the  second  most  number  of  stars  are  your  secondary  goals.

Next  Steps:  Challenges  

Make  a  list  of  all  the  challenges  and  constraints  you  face  with  your  idea.  Discuss  how  they  could  be  addressed.  

•  What  challenges  do  you  an,cipate?  •  What  are  you  missing?    •  What  support/resources  do  you  need?  •  Who  would  oppose  the  idea?    •  What  will  be  most  difficult?  •  What  ques,ons  do  you  have  about  your  audience,  needs,  goals,  etc?  

Page 22: GLS 2014: WEx Design Jam - a foundation for work with impact

Next  Steps:  Think  about…  

What  are  some  assump,ons  you  might  be  making?  About  your  team  or  audience?  About  your  solu,on?    How  will  you  document  progress,  success,  failures  as  individuals  and  as  a  team?      How  will  you  know  if  you’ve  achieved  your  goals?  What  are  your  measures  of  success?  

Page 23: GLS 2014: WEx Design Jam - a foundation for work with impact

Next  Steps  

Narrow  down  your  idea  and  make  sure  it  addresses  the  problem,  audience  needs,  and  goals.
