We will discuss the role of human centered design and lean start up in successful development and scaling of digital technologies. We will hear from social entrepreneurs engaging in best practices for innovation to accelerate the impact and scale of solutions to the world’s most intractable challenges. We will also hear from the leaders using human centered design to design solutions to reach the SDGs. We will hear from lean start-ups in the social good space and hear about origin stories and how products went from failure to iteration to finally success.
