About this Project

Our goal is to create a lightweight crowdsourcing website to accompany the 2012-2013 roundtable discussions led by the GAC in Design & Innovation. The function of YourDesignThinking.com is to animate thinking prior to our roundtables and also to extend the conversation to people that may not have access to the actual events, but who would like to share their ideas, perspectives, questions.

For 3-4 weeks prior to each roundtable, we will gather the collective intelligence of our extended communities with a time-limited provocation, question, or ask . Based on the theme of each event, the website question will change. The responses will be gathered, synthesized, and visualized on the site, as well as at the roundtable meetings.

About Design & Innovation

The world needs creative solutions to overcome the current set of crises, from climate change to fragile states and youth unrest. Today’s complex environment requires that we constantly readjust our mindsets to tackle its dynamic forces. In this context, design and innovation are drivers for humanity’s creative and sustainable future.

The Global Agenda Council (GAC) on Design & Innovation strives to apply design and innovation to identify and analyse systemic problems, and to invent and deliver creative solutions. During the five years of its existence, the Council has developed principles for design to become a capacity-building tool as well as a provider of concrete solutions to global issues.
