How can the power of “How Might We” reshape communities, policies, and public services—not just products?
In Episode 7 of "HMW: Turning Problems into Possibilities," hosts take you outside the design studio and into the worlds of civic innovation and social impact.
Discover how reframing public challenges as HMW questions sparks greater empathy, creativity, and buy-in from diverse stakeholders—be they residents, government officials, or nonprofit leaders. Through vivid real-world stories, see how a city transit agency piloted micro-shuttles and how a youth nonprofit boosted volunteer engagement by shifting from a problem mindset to a possibility mindset.
We break down the operational steps for running effective HMW workshops in the public and social sector—from mapping stakeholders and conducting empathy research to prototyping and co-testing solutions with communities. You’ll hear field-tested tips, common pitfalls, and ways to ensure every voice is truly included in shaping change.
Perfect for public sector professionals, community organizers, and anyone passionate about making a difference, this episode equips you to use HMW language and methodology for fresh, lasting impact on the complex challenges facing society today.
