3. PROJECT GOAL
• To Identify how people
(contributors) have found
solutions to challenges they have
faced, and how they practiced
“Designing solutions”.
4. INTRODUCTION
• Contributors approach the various situations in
their life and work place with the unique
mindset.
• The first aspect of the contributor mindset is the
contributors willingness and capacity to find the
solutions
• When faced with a challenge, the contributors
first response is : “can we find a solution?”
• but this is not all. The contributor also find a
solution.
• Contributor develops the capacity of find
solutions through continuous practice and
learning from contributors.
8. Application Example
• Aravind calls itself an “eye care
system” as it goes beyond the
delivery of pure eye care, to
additionally address barriers to
accessing care.
• Aravind adopts active rural
outreach. It holds “eye camps” in
which it registers patients,
administers eye examinations,
teaches eye care, and identifies
people who may require surgery.
9. HOW do you discover and create possibilities?
• Start with yourself…..
You probably have millions of good ideas
located right there in your mind. You just have to
get hold of them and pull them out.
• Learn about community……
You need to gather enough information to
form an overall picture of people's interests,
values, struggle similarities, and differences
10. • Think about future…..
We can make some educated guesses.
And those guesses may help us figure out next
step that work for our communities.
• Get beyond hopelessness……
Difficult time being creative and thinking
about new possibilities.
• Be courageous……
In order to be creative you may have to be
courageous. You may have to think in ways that
are different from others

15. WHEN FACING A
PROBLEM
• Non-contributor give all type of excuses
whenever some problem crops up which
they know Is going to push them to the
extremes.
• For them, the glass is “always half empty”
• Contributors, on the other hand, have a will-
do attitude…for them glass “always half full”
• Having a such an attitude is actually about
making a decision to look to the solution
rather then just the problem.
16. CAN-DO ATTITUDE OF A
CONTRIBUTOR

for me to do.
• I may not do all at once but I can do.
• I may not be best at everything but I can do
everything.
• There will be limitations but I can do
everything.
• I’ll need help but I can do everything.
