3. Focus on
Extreme Users

How often should designers delve into users’
unique circumstances?

By understanding the needs of extreme users, we
address a broader range of pain points, catering
to both situational and permanent problems.

Ethical and
Cultural Sens y

Recognizing and respecting diverse

cultural contexts is pivotal. To avoid

imposing unsuitable solutions, it's crucial

to align with local values. Acceptance

and adoption by the target audience

increase the chances of successful

implementation. yuj

4. Understanding Human
Behavior Roots

Sometimes, the root causes of problems stem
from obvious yet challenging-to-pinpoint
human behavior. This behavior results from
complex influences, demanding designers to
dig deeper for effective solutions.

Navigating Stakeholder
Complexity

Designers need a profound sense of empathy
to navigate the complexities of multiple
stakeholders. Mediation is key for aligning and
forming agreements between involved parties.
This complexity has been misunderstood, with
the mere involvement of users not equating to
the integration of design practices in social
impact development.

5. Systemic
Thinking

Considering solutions in a broader context, as
advised by Eliel Saarinen, is paramount.
Solutions are interwoven into a complex web of
connections, and recognizing and accounting
for these interdependencies are crucial for
comprehensive and sustainable design.

Questioning
Assumptions

Unraveling assumptions is critical. By constantly
questioning assumptions, designers uncover the
root causes of social issues, paving the way for
interventions with meaningful impact.
