Live Well Collaborative

Last night we celebrated Live Wells 15th year anniversary. Here are some of the projects that we featured, we are excited to showcase more of our work!

The Experience Canvas is a great tool to use during the lead-in and research phase of the design research process. It helps the designer to see through the customer's eyes to understand their needs and experiences.

In preparation for our big 15 Year Anniversary celebration approaching we are getting our VR headsets ready for demonstration and use. We can't wait to show our attendees the work we have done!

For our current Boeing studio work the Live Well team was able to gain insights through an empathy exercise that simulated different concept opportunities.

Here is another example of the opportunities that Live Well offers UC co-ops. We are looking forward to challenging our new co-ops for summer semester with projects for Cincinnati Children’s, Procter & Gamble, and Council on Aging.

The Stakeholder Map toolkit is a great resource to use during the research phase of your project. Use this tool to gain a better understanding of the various groups involved in a particular service or product by visually representing the connections between them, how they interact with each other, as well as their interests and motivations.

Live Well hosted a design thinking for non-profits workshop session for CCTST’s Community Leaders Institute. We discussed applying design thinking methodologies to each leader’s aspirations and milestones. We had such a great time connecting with local leaders and sharing our resources and superpowers!

We would like to give a huge congratulations to our partner, Jai'La Nored, for being honored with the VUCA Leadership Award, recognizing her for her innovative thinking in the Greater Cincinnati non-profit sector. Congratulations Jai’La! Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio

We are excited to offer these great opportunities to our new co-op's and fellows next semester! Many exciting projects to come.

The Stakeholder Diagram toolkit is a great method to establish hierarchy of different stakeholder’s in order to gain a greater understanding of everyone and their roles while working with their team.

The Live Well team got together to exchange treats. We hope everyone had a good Valentines Day!

This past week our team has worked on finalizing research presentations in our studios and have planned our Plane Mapping activity to conduct with the Boeing team. We were excited to present our insights and findings to the team and are ready to continue with the design research process!
