Strategic tools to design for Impact
Explore unintended consequences
-
Use the matrix below to map the potential consequences, exploring what might happen as a result of your product/service being used/implemented - what might go wrong? what might go well? How might people be affected?
-
What might you do to mitigate those negative outcomes? Write down what outcomes you’d expect if the mitigation activities were successful. Add these to the outcomes map you made in the previous exercise.
