Do No Harm workshop

While design does a lot of good, it’s important to think about its consequences. Political polarisation, consumerism, addiction to our phones and social media, waste and misinformation are just a few of the many problems that the design discipline has contributed to. And today, with the ever-growing challenges of the modern world, the layers of complexity are multiplying.

Designit’s Do No Harm framework is a practical approach to addressing the potential negative consequences of design work; for people, the environment and our society.

This hands-on workshop is suited to design and design-adjacent practitioners where you’ll get to explore:

• What are the boundaries of the harm you should consider?
• What is the role of the team and how can it be best equipped at preventing harm?
• How can you identify risks beyond an individual and user-centric focus?
• How can you move forward when you have a big list of risks but limited time?
• How can you craft the most fitting measures to mitigate your prioritised risks and ensure those actions will be taken forward?

Designit is home to 700+ designers, analysts, brainstormers, creators, doers, dreamers, explorers, geeks, leaders, learners, lovers, mamas, papas, renegades, strategists, marketers, tree-huggers, visionaries, question-askers with diverse expertise and perspectives working together to solve complex problems.

As an experience innovation company with creativity at our core, we work at the intersection of strategy, design, marketing, and technology. Through diverse lenses, humane technology, and purposeful risk, we’re driven by the belief that what matters tomorrow is designed today.
