    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.

    Biography

    Mariana Amatullo, Bryan Boyer, Jennifer May, Andrew Shea

    ‘All in all, without being pretentious, idealizing, or hiding its vulnerabilities, this book serves as a veritable design for social innovation compendium... The book is available for open access consultation and learning to widen our knowledge of the field and its subtleties so that we may develop collective trust, learn from each other’s failures and resilience, increase the legitimacy of design for social innovation enough to earn a seat at the table where decisions are made, communicate outcomes via diverse trusted mediums, and enhance practice among others. It is a read for all. Equally valuable and useful for students and new and well-seasoned practitioners, whether they already work in design for social innovation or want to move into the field. The entire collection is exceptionally well organized and clear, offering information in all shades of grey, written and visual—as much a very enjoyable read as a rigorous one!’
