Innovation in a welfare perspective

At the beginning of the lesson we watched the video "The Shopping Cart Project". It´s about the process during the project. 

A group of Ideo works together, no one has an title, every person has another specialization and there is no hierarchy.

Step 1: TOUGHTS - What could it be?

Step 2: INTERVIEW - Ask the customer. What do you want to change? What frustrate you?  What do you need? What do you care about? 

Step 3: REFLECTION - What are the different ideas? What is a new perspective? What is a new idea? What wishes do they have? What weaknesses have priority?

Step 4: IDEAS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS - many different aspects, be creative, find solutions

Step 5: IDEA PRESENTATIONS - Every group member presents his/her idea. 

Step 6: POST IT - Every group member can add an advantages, a disadvantages, a comment or a tipp.

Step 7: BUILD A PROTOTYP - Now everyone built a prototype of his/her idea.

Step 8: PROTOTYP PRESENTATION: Every group member presents his/her prototyp.

Step 9: BEST THINGS: The members put the best things together to one product. 

Step 10: BUILD THE PRODUCT: The product is developed. 

Step 11: TEST: The customers wil try the new product and give feedback. 

Step 12: LAUNCH: A new innovation is born and launched.

What is innovation in a welfare perspective?

My group have focused on the question WHY?

Innovation in a welfare perspective can solve problems, can improve the qualitiy of life of many developing countries, can bring cultural changes, can deal with social economic issues and for me a very important part is that not the profit is central, but the people with their needs. 

Another important point is the customer´s welfare, it´s based on their needs and wants - agricultural needs, health care system, profit education and the sophisticated technology. But the needs like food, water, shelther, clothes, social contact, should be the biggest part. Their 'wants' should be overturned by their 'needs'.

At the end we watched the video "Kiran Bir Sethi teaches kids to take charge". It´s very inspiring video and have encouraged me to this also with my future class.  'I CAN'
