The webinar focused on the basics of the design thinking methodology as applied to the social change sector. It covered the process of designing a product or service for impact, including problem definition, idea validation and exploration, and logic models. Participants were able to combine classic models for civil society organisations with user-centric approaches to design and development. The methods are applicable throughout a wide range of domains, from large NGOs and governments institutions to small social start-ups and volunteer communities.
