Employing strategic design to improve social standards
Susana Dominguez, Thesis I
Prof. Klinkowstein
HypothesisThis thesis presents the hypothesis that strategic design,
a problem-solving methodology that uses abductive reasoning,
can be applied to the challenge of providing financial support to a community center in a
developing country. Traditional sources of financial support for such institutions, including
individual benefactors, government agencies and international organizations have shown
to be unreliable. Applying strategic design methodology to such a problem may provide
innovative sources of funding for a community center drawn from the center’s own network,
a network of networks linking numerous such centers, and hybrid local/global community
center grown businesses and cooperatives.
