What: Social Concerns – People Centered Design as a Tool for Change
Presenter: Rama Gheerawo Innovation Leader and Research Fellow at the Helen Hamlyn Centre
Where: Institute for Human Centered Design Adaptive Environments 200 Portland Street Boston

Summary: Centering design around people can significantly increase corporate competitiveness and value, while acting as a trigger for designers and their partners to completely reconsider how they work and create. This is a central premise of Inclusive Design. While there is obvious social, moral and philosophical benefit, what are the creative, financial and personal implications? Inclusive Design is set to reshape the way we look at design and is in a powerful position to influence modern life. It can humanize and transform the products, services, institutions and environments around us.
