Designers do not always think about 

implementation 

or its flow on 

social processes
?
Design artefacts are created by and
through the process of design.
E.g. prototypes, personas, journey maps, process-flows,
wire-frames, service blue-prints, conceptual designs etc.

1. Unpack the social context
- Who can affect and who is affected by this?
- Who needs to be involved in the change?
2. Reuse and repurpose …. be efficient
How might you broaden your audiences to bring 

more people on the journey? Raw data is persuasive.



3. Consider knowledge management
Remember knowledge spreads in non-hierarchical ways.

Make your artefacts interesting and fun so they go viral : )
