IDEO’s New Idea

Bill Harper — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 02:04:12 +0000

Global design firm IDEO announced it will launch a nonprofit division this fall. Ideo.org aims to bring product innovation and design consulting to the social sector, working with projects in low-income communities around the world.

We’re excited to see more creativity entering the non-profit sphere. Design thinking is a powerful methodology to help solve challenges of poverty, health and social issues. Whether applied through IDEO’s creative product design, or MWOPA’s innovative fundraising design, the time is now for revolutionary thinking and we’re glad to see more of it in the non-profit sector.

MWO advisor Bill Harper has teamed up with non-profit ED Michelle Halsey, to launch EDLink, a global online resource and gathering place for Executive Directors of nonprofit organizations. Membership in EDLink provides the most senior staff person in non-profit organizations with 7/24 access to education and networking opportunities exclusively tailored to their profession.

A survey of over 100 EDs showed the number one resource EDs rely on is their peers. The second most popular was online resources. EDLink includes unique experiences like real-time virtual peer learning sessions, virtual mentoring, and a private discussion forum supported by expert contributors, as well as access to educational webinars, an article library and e-news created specifically for EDs.
