While the Change Management story is available for self-directed learning on the webpage, a pack of supplementary resources is available to educators and facilitators to support your teaching and learning goals:
Conversation Starters: Prompts that encourage students to connect design thinking with gender and innovation
Conceptual mapping: Shows Design Thinking Tools, Practices, and Mindsets (as per our Conceptual Framework) mapped to the Change Management story
Additional links: Additional links to blog posts, videos and academic articles about Change Management
Other Resources contributed by our user community will be added over time. Would you like to add a resource? See how you can contribute to this story.
The groundnut oil story can be considered appropriate for students at the undergraduate level in any design-focused discipline (e.g. engineering, biomedical engineering, occupational therapy, information systems, educational technologists, students of design thinking).
Students of Design, Entrepreneurship, Business, International Development, Agriculture
Students will be able to:
identify when design thinking phases, tools, practices, and mindsets are inadequately or superficially applied, and explain how this can lead to flawed or harmful interventions
distinguish between interventions that embody key design thinking principles (e.g., deep empathy, context sensitivity) and those that only mimic the surface forms of the process
describe how overlooking gender power structures and deeper contextual factors can produce unintended consequences, even when technical solutions “work” as intended
evaluate a case study for its unintended social, economic, or gendered outcomes and propose ways to mitigate such risks in future design processes
These resources are made available for free as Open Educational Resources under a Creative Commons license with the intention to provide Afrikan-centred teaching and learning tools for design thinking education.
