  • Impact Bazaar, 5th Floor

Empathy is at the core of the human-centered design process.

Empathy is central to develop valuable and useful innovations. This is one powerful way to understand better your future users and customers. It helps you define your problem and generate innovative solutions. Remember: framing the right problem is the only way to create the right solution!

In this 90 minutes workshop, we will invite you to explore (through a hands-on activity) what empathy means and how it can help you generate ideas.

  • Impact Bazaar, 5th Floor

Price: $25
Register: http://bit.ly/1QuVp3Q

In this workshop, Tim Keating exposes the truth behind material overconsumption in the United States and globally. As 6% of Earth’s human population, people living in the U.S. consume 30–35% of the world’s human-converted energy and materials and produce 35% of human-caused pollution. What drove this unsurpassed demand? More importantly, what can we do about it?

Consuming Earth to Death provides a unique perspective on solutions to our globally-catastrophic demand. Can we continue to use materials at this rate? What are the most damaging materials? What are the most Earth-destructive aspects of our modern lives? How do we step off the treadmill of work/spend/overconsumption/Earth-destruction and innovate a different path? What is the role of business in this demand and what role can startups play in turning this ship around, creating more well-being and more and better jobs with less stuff?

Our big innovation is the concept of "social underwriting." Rather than underwriting loans using a borrower's credit history, collateral or cash flow, we're simply looking at a borrower's character and network of trust, and it's working! 

This is an office hour, not a presentation. If you're interested in applying for a Kiva Zip loan for your business or if you just want to know more about the program and the concept of social underwriting, please drop by. I'd love to chat!

Workshop // Building a Culture for Sustainability

  • Impact Bazaar, 5th Floor

While sustainability may start out as grand goals, it is fueled by the millions of little actions made by everyday employees. Our interactive workshop begins with a brief overview and framework for understanding the human side of sustainability, and how corporate culture drives the success or failure of sustainability initiatives. The intention is to educate and inspire leaders and managers in every function in how to mainstream sustainability into all aspects of their corporate culture.

We will explore how:
• Participants can play a pivotal role in unleashing talent in service of a sustainable future in their organizations and in the world.
• To create a purpose driven, conscious, connected workforce, and help steward a shift toward total employee involvement in sustainability.
• To embed 8 essential elements for creating authentic sustainability cultures, describing them along a continuum from unsustainable to holistic sustainable.

Takeaways include practical tools for leaders and managers to use to ignite employee passion, promote employee engagement, increase innovation, creativity, and productivity. All while reinforcing ecological responsibility and increasing community and societal prosperity.

Join Impact Bazaar & TYTHEdesign’s Kristina Drury on Tuesday, November 10th from 10AM to 12PM to learn Journey Mapping for Public Engagement.

A well-designed experience can make a world the difference: just think about how you feel traveling through Penn Station versus Grand Central. If you've ever walked away from a service experience feeling it like was designed in a bubble and weren't sure how to approach change, this class is for you. Get to know your community and improve your services and programs with the creative journey mapping tool. In this workshop, gain deeper understanding of your community or clients' context and identify opportunities for service or program growth. TYTHEdesign will teach journey mapping, a widely applicable design thinking tool for service delivery, program planning, customer experience, and curriculum development.

Design thinking is a multidisciplinary, people-centered process that encourages empathy with your clients or community, experimentation with solutions, and design outcomes that match human needs. After years of integrating the design thinking methodology into our daily work, TYTHEdesign has developed Community Capacity Lab, a tailored class series focused on translating design theories across fields and sectors into real world, real work experience. We draw on case studies and interactive activities to share feasible and adaptable ways to bring innovation, creative thinking, and greater impact to your everyday work.

This class is geared to strengthen services and community engagement within city agencies, non-profits, and serviced-based companies.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN  

  • An introduction to the design thinking problem-solving approach
  • A new tool for service delivery and program design
  • Improve your creative thinking skills
  • Tips for public engagement

Yoga // Ariela Anelli

  • Impact Bazaar

Ariela began practicing yoga to relieve stress, but found much more. She loves teaching yoga because it isn't about the perfect outfit, or pose. It's about the journey as an individual, one that keeps evolving, just as we do.
