We are user experience designers; professional innovators creating solutions for real-world problems. We're tuned to understanding people's needs, and much of our job involves balancing these user needs against those of our clients' business. But look wider - at the financial, ecological and sociological crises that affect our society in large and small ways. Perhaps there is a third set of needs to keep in balance; ethical needs.
This presentation is about how to adopt a new awareness to add human and ethical strand into our everyday work. Just as large companies now consider 'corporate social responsibility' part of 'business as usual', so we as a designers can incorporate ethical social innovation into our work, and in doing so help our company and clients to be more sensitive to the wider needs of people (not users). I will share ideas and trends from science, business, social innovators and philosophers to help you introduce Universal Responsibility into your understanding of problems, so you can go a step ahead and design for good.
You already recycle, support local trade, maybe even volunteer in your community. I now invite you to introduce such ethical values into your design and work. It's not easy, but it's inspiring rewarding, and leads to a better world and happy people!

WE create eXperiences. So in some way, we design for good. But, I’m SORRY, that’s NOT ENOUGH There are so many problems in our society, in our world:\n I donate to 'Greenpeace' (or similar), I buy/eat organic food I recycle, reuse I contract/use ethical bank & services\n We use public transport I donate to Children charity I buy/use organic fabrics\n Volunteer work WE NEED TO DO MORE\n We hold the potential to foster this world and the society.\n Before you start saying that you can’t change the world, Let me ask you...\n

How do you define Business\n How do you use values to create experience \n How we can make people happier and at the same time design for a better world....\n \n \n \n
Red economy is about CREDIT\n Green Economy, is about cleaning the mess that the red economy did. It’s expensive\n Blue economy is about Ecosystem as a Master. Physics, Ecosystems and no waste. Nature is efficient. An ecosystem is an efficient way to sustain a population and there is no waste. HUMAN PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION PATTERNS ARE NO LONGER SUSTAINABLE\n Companies & entrepreneurs that create more from lees.\n Innovations that are Green & sustainable\n The RULE: give your waste to someone that can use it.\n \n Human Production and compsumption patterns are no longer sustainable. Thinking in Systems & Cucles, we become metabolists. It’s about cicle Anaysis.\n \n I.E. RETHINKING ENERGY PRODUCTION: produce a device to power cell phones from energy captured from voice.\n \n \n \n
“The “Common Welfare Economy” provides the basic elements of an alternative economic framework. It encompasses three approaches:\n| Market values and social values should no longer oppose each other. The same values that contribute to fulfilling interpersonal relationships should be rewarded in the economy.\n| Conformity with the constitution.The economy should function in accordance with the values and objectives established by the constitutions of western democracies, which is currently not the case. \n| Economic success should no longer be measured with monetary indicators (financial profit, GDP), but by what is really important, i.e. utility values (basic needs, quality of life, communal values).   The first draft of this model, including the Common Welfare Balance Sheet, was developed between 2009 and 2010 by a dozen entrepreneurs from Austria.   Practical Implementation In the fiscal year 2011, 60 companies in three countries created the Common Welfare Balance Sheet.”\n
Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.\n \n \n \n

Are we going to stay close to the waves? Or are we going to start learning to swim?\n You are UX, care about people, create experiences, look at the big picture and remember that you can help improve the human development, society everyday in every project, because what you do have effect at micro level, but also Macro level.\n Everything starts at ♥ don’t let your guts stop you ≋ user your intelligence ⚇ \n \n \n \n
