Innovating in the Face of Complex Challenges

A path to impact for everyone, by design

Across the University, faculty, staff, and students find themselves faced with unique problems and challenges. Infrequently are we intentional with how we might navigate these situations, articulate what problem we're solving, and arrive at transformational ideas.

There are great ideas in all of us, but creating the conditions to think them through, try them out, and inspire others can be a challenge. Time and resource constrains, habits of working, and long-held attitudes can discourage outside-the-box thinking.

The Design Practice provides tools and tips that anyone at Tufts can apply to their projects. Here's how you can get started with design thinking. Help members of the community get started on their next project, pivot in their strategy, realize their next big idea, collaborate equitably and translate their visions to impact.
