Designers must creatively balance many forces. They must assert confidence to advance new perspectives yet maintain a sensitive understanding of users. They must embrace and employ technology while carefully considering the impact of pervasive technology on human beings.

SPEAKING THE TRUTH. Photo by Leigh Anna Thompson “I wanted to make a symposium but all I could come up with was a revolution.” Take This Job & Love It ’13 is a one day symposium where James breaks down the philosophies he’s followed throughout his career and teaches you how to use these methods to maximize your own life and work. TTJALI ’13 is the convergence of design and creative arts, personal development and social impact. This is a revolution. Mayo Clinic Individualizing Medicine 2012: Transforming Patient Care With Genomics. What Is Design Thinking Anyway?

This topic is being heavily debated in the design and innovation circles I’ve been traveling in lately.

Some feel we need to be thinking more before we make anything at all while others say we need to focus on making, and stop spending so much time torturing ourselves over words on a page that say what we plan to do. ‘Design thinking’ is defined as “the ability to combine empathy for the context of a problem, creativity in the generation of insights and solutions, and rationality to analyze and fit solutions to the context.” Intuitively it makes sense to want to understand the people and the world you are designing for before you make something, and insight in itself is not a dead concept, so why all the debate around whether design thinking is dead or alive?

The idea of design thinking is decades old and it’s similar to systems thinking in Peter Senge’s terms in that its naming an approach to understanding and solving problems. Design Business Conference 2011. Wireless-Life Sciences Alliance. Outcomes are Essential in Global Health. Enroll in the Certificate Program in Global Health Practice In performance assessment, outputs are defined as the goods or services produced by programs or agencies, whereas outcomes are defined as the impact that those outputs have on social, economic, or other indicators.(1) Typically, outputs are used to document the amount or volume of use of the project's products or services.

While outputs are important to track, evaluation needs to focus on measuring outcomes that reveal the extent and kinds of impact that the project has on its participants. Impact could be reported in the amount of change in behavior, attitude, skills, knowledge or condition of the target population. For example, an output would be the number of microfinance loans distributed, or the number of loans repaid. This type of information is not very useful. The Importance of Measuring Outcomes Case Study: Mosquito Nets The dichotomy between outcomes and outputs can be seen in the case of mosquito net distribution.
