This week use your 20 minutes of shut-up-and-write time to reflect on the feedback session your group did with Gemma on your concepts and presentation for the panel in week 8.

Use the 4 R reading again to guide this reflection:

Reported: Identify an issue.
Relating: Connect the issue to your professional skills and experience.
Reasoning: Focus on factors that underly the issue you have identified. Make connections with theory and consider what a person in this professional area would do to work with these issues.
Reconstructing: Think about how you would do things differently next time.

Here (below) is the space for the Wednesday Transition Design workshop with SIX interactive canvas screens to put your group problems up on. Please can you get your groups to complete a group problem (ONE sentence statement) in the studio Google Community under your group category before Wednesday morning.

On Wednesday 22 March we will run the studio in the new RMIT Experience Design Centre.

Please meet in our normal room (9.3.6) at 9:30am sharp then we will walk together to the EDC. The EDC is a new augmented space designed explicitly to help co-design around ‘wicked problems’ of the type you are all confronted with now.

Together we will workshop each group’s ‘problem space’, using Transition Design methods.

Here’s 4 pages from the primer on Transition Design: Transition_Design_Monograph_edited_v2-1ehzhl9 (and here’s a link to the full document with extensive references).

Here’s Herbst Rittel’s original ‘wicked problem’ paper: 081012_Rittel_Wicked_Problems_Papers_Ken-1p6di1d *

Here’s design council UK’s articulation of the ‘double diamond’ design process: http://www.designcouncil.org.uk/news-opinion/design-process-what-double-diamond

Today we asked you to individually in your groups define the problem that Lentara is asking you to work on in a sentence. With this sentence we asked you to draw the problem and then add both of these outputs to your group category on the studio Google Community.

For the Wednesday (transition workshop) next week in week 4 we asked you to decide as group what your problem is in as sentence and then add it also to your group category on the studio Google Community. You will be using this sentence on Wednesday to introduce your projects in discussions with the client and the workshop facilitators.

Resources

Your key resource is the IDEO HCD field guide posted earlier, with specific reference to the Inspiration phases of the design process pages 31-33. Think about using the tools on page 33 to help your group refine your problem sentence.
