- Value [1] Social Good
- Value [2] Participation
- To become a place where good ideas gain momentum, OpenIDEO depends on participation — your inspirations, his comments, her
concepts, our design process. It's these efforts, these big and small moments of sharing and collaboration, that make this
platform a dynamic resource for tackling significant global challenges.
- Value [3] Inclusiveness
- Principle #1: Inclusive -- Recognize and enable all levels of participation from different disciplines. It's about allowing
anyone to contribute to the creative process. Whether it's a great insight, a beautiful sketch, an encouraging build, or a
few words of praise, the platform allows everyone to take part in and feel as if they are a part of the process.
- Value [4] Community
- Principle #2: Community-centered -- Remember the core strengths of the community and play to them. OpenIDEO is meant to foster
a strong, vibrant, lively community that thrives on inspiration — and that we all trust will make a difference. Focusing on
this community and its activities is essential.
- Value [5] Collaboration
- Principle #3: Collaborative -- Promote teamwork among individuals and teams by recognizing the many roles that are crucial
to each step of the design process. Always choose collaboration over competition, and create an atmosphere for building on
one another's ideas.
- Value [6] Optimism
- Principle #4: Optimistic -- Stay optimistic! You never know when a wild idea might enable others to get closer to a viable
solution.
- Value [7] Continuous Improvement
- Principle #5: Always in Beta -- Design for continuous improvement and iteration and scale deliberately. That goes for the
community, the platform, and these principles. To this end, please email your suggestions for making OpenIDEO better.
