Anticipating the impact of design projects: contributions to the SDGs

Designers and other creative professionals often receive several briefs simultaneously, having to prioritise or choose the one to work on at that moment. The tool that will be introduced and used in this workshop, The Impact Plan, is a supporting and defining framework for said decision, and 2) a system for reflecting on how each of the possible projects to choose from can become a more or less impactful, meaningful and pleasurable action. It does so by matching the projects’ anticipated impact with the motivations, capacities, ambitions, and perceptions of value of those involved in its execution, and finally matching all that with the UN’s 17 Goals for Sustainable Development, leading to, hopefully, some contribution to practice and research.
