32. Social Innovation
Design is a process for seeing unconnected things in
new relationships to each other, for visualizing a
desired end-state that can be shared, for getting from
A to B when you are not quite sure what B is.
At its best, design is the creative expression of ideas
that inspire new thinking and behavior, new ways of
participating. Design can provide the understanding
and insight, processes and models that will help solve
the pressing challenges of our time.
It is what social innovation needs if we are to make
lasting, repeatable progress.

58. Personas
“Personas are not real people, but
they represent them throughout the
design process. They are hypothetical
archetypes of actual users. Although,
they are imaginary, they are defined
with significant rigor and precision.”
