Did you know we traveled to the moon before plate tectonics was widely accepted? That means we managed to land on the moon before we understood where earthquakes, mountains, or volcanoes come from.

How deep we go is up to you; this is just meant to be a fun conversation for anyone who enjoys inspiring the curious side of themselves.

*15% of proceeds will be donated to the Van Alen Institute.* Designing intentional processes to envision the future of work are more important now than ever as individuals, organizations and society rethink how, when and where we work as a result of COVID-19. Based on my 15+ years of experience leading national initiatives for societal benefit, I feel strongly that design methods can and should be applied to developing policy solutions. A design driven policy process includes an empathy-driven focus on end-user needs, collaboration-driven approach that identifies and works with key stakeholders, and a prototyping mindset with a bias towards action. During my Harvard Fellowship, I created a method--"Design-driven policy prototyping"--and applied that method to policy discussions about the Future of Work. The design-driven policy prototyping approach harnesses my experience leading cross-sector coalitions, user-centered design, and open innovation challenges. In this session you will learn how to design your own collaborative "makeathon" to explore a subset of difficult problem areas in your topic area of choice. You will also have the option to learn how to articulate a design brief, develop personnas to enable user-centered design, and design a productive prototyping exercise.
