Design Thinking Training Series for Social Service and Welfare Sectors
Design thinking is critically important for driving innovation in the social service and welfare sectors, areas fundamentally focused on addressing complex human needs and societal challenges.
In the social service and welfare sectors, where the goal is to improve human well-being, design thinking offers a powerful toolkit for innovation. It not only fosters solutions that are deeply attuned to human needs but also promotes a systematic approach to service design and delivery that can adapt to changing demands and complexities. This approach not only improves current service delivery but also paves the way for lasting social impact.
In fact, we collaborated with the Urban Renewal Authority to revitalize the Kowloon Town district. This community development initiative focused on rebranding the community and redesigning its public facilities. The reimagined brand will transform the citizen and traveler experience from negative to positive, achieving a predicted 48% increase in emotional impact. This successful project was documented in the Hong Kong Design Thinking Business Casebook 2022.
