The power of Do No Harm in design: Part one
You’ve probably heard of Do No Harm. It’s most often applied in healthcare, humanitarian, academic, or NGO worlds. The concept comes from the Hippocratic Oath, which is the vow of ethical practice historically taken by healthcare physicians. The oath says:
The physician must be able to tell the antecedents, know the present, and foretell the future — must mediate these things, and have two special objects in view with regard to disease, namely, to do good or to do no harm.
Although it sounds unconventional, when Do No Harm is applied to the field of design, it has significant potential and broad utility. If the design discipline is to evolve into a more sustainable version of itself with the power to innovate for the long term, we need to develop approaches from within to be able to effectively forecast, prevent, and respond to harm.
A disciplinary culture shift is in order, and the Do No Harm framework provides a way towards achieving it. So, what makes Do No Harm such a valuable business consideration, and how can you put it into practice? >>
The world is changing fast. And it's only speeding up
Businesses are constantly under pressure to adapt and innovate, and start-ups rise in popularity because of their ability to move fast and break things. You don’t always have that luxury when you’re trying to adopt more agile ways of working. You need an easier way to keep up with change – or better yet, get ahead of it.
Maybe the concept of change in your organisation is daunting. Perhaps you’re concerned that you’ll hurt your core product if you try to innovate. Maybe you believe that changing too much will damage the trust you've built with your consumer.
While all these things can be true, there are ways to keep your current customers engaged while consistently iterating to find and serve new ones. There is a world where you can achieve stability at a high level and agility on the ground. A world where you can balance the ambitions of your organisation with the needs of your end user. Enter concentric agility >>
Design the future: An interview with Jehangir Byramji
The Interview by Designit is a new series to bring you perspectives, insights, and advice from business and industry leaders who are designing the future. In our first instalment, we chat with Jehangir Byramji, Innovation Lead for Emerging Technology at Lloyds Banking Group.
What is innovation, really? Jehangir acknowledges that innovation means different things to different people and looks different within each organisation. Sometimes it’s process improvements and the introduction of pivotal new business models. But true innovation is broader than that. At its centre, innovation is about the execution of new ideas that create value.
And the success of an innovation isn’t predicated on where its ideas came from. On the most surprising thing he has learned, Jehangir says, “No matter their role or day job, people can always surprise you, and their enthusiasm can be a valuable enabler to innovation.” Get Jehangir’s perspective on the greatest challenges facing business today, a framework for innovation, and advice for fellow change-makers and innovators >>
The industrial metaverse is a revolutionary game changer for business
There is a lot of buzz about the metaverse, and opinions and predictions vary by the day. The dominant themes typically centre around the social media and gaming-focused consumer. But a new study from Wipro shows that business leaders are laying the foundations for a much deeper, business-centric metaverse; one that will help them reimagine core internal processes and teamwork while pioneering new products, services, and business models.
Over 56 percent of leaders see the metaverse as a way to increase customer satisfaction and retention over the next two years. And while the benefits of implementing this technology are clearly understood by business leaders, the realities of deploying it are still being defined. How can you harness the potential of the metaverse and leverage it to reap the most transformative rewards? >>
