Improving Creativity in Developing Nations
Unicef
From 2014 we worked with Unicef to help plan, prototype, test and deliver the ‘Adolescent Kit for Innovation and Creativity’: a set of physical and digital tools, workshops and protocols designed to boost the economy of the world’s most impoverished nations—by increasing the levels of entrepreneurialism and opportunity amongst its young people.
Purchased by in-country Program Coordinators, and delivered by a wide variety of local facilitators, the Adolescent Kit was the first of its kind within the Unicef portfolio, and had a lot to prove.
In partnership with ex-IDEO consultants and designers, we used a variety of Service Design techniques—from research, personas and user journeys to stakeholder maps and service blueprints—to deliver a comprehensive set of resources and operational delivery guidelines to the organisation, so that it in-turn could produce them cost effectively at scale, and distribute them to those in need.
The project was so successful and well received a second stage was commissioned in 2016, with the core aim to further digitise the delivery of the kit; making it cheaper, more portable and more accessible than before—with better data capture and analysis features.
