*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.
