TiE and QGLUE (the design venture of QAI) announce awards that recognize entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial ventures driven by 'Responsible Design'.
Responsible Design pays special attention to the "human-centered" approach to shaping new businesses, conceptualizing meaningful innovation and undertaking a venture journey that forever has empathy and responsibility at the center of critical decisions. In summary, ventures embracing attributes and values of "design thinking" will be recognized and rewarded.
Design Thinking has three lenses through which a designer attempts to seek a good solution- 'Desirability', 'Feasibility' and 'Viability'. The jury seeks to find how ventures balance business imperatives with technological feasibility, along with human needs and desires. Thereby having a social impact on people. The sweet spot at the intersection of 'Desirability', 'Feasibility' and 'Viability' is value innovation which is rare, and is worth rewarding and recognizing.
After the evaluation process, selected candidates will pitch their proposals at TiE Global Summit and the winners will be recognized at the conference and their work will be highlighted. Further, exclusive design mentoring sessions from acclaimed Mentors will be given to the winners, post the event.
Share your story. Inspire others on the journey.
Together, we design a better future.
The entries can be shared through pitches and can be documented with photos, videos
and testimonies from stakeholders. The submission will also contain a 2 to
3-minute HD video explaining the original approach, the design imperatives,
customer centricity and the relentless validation that was undertaken in the
process.
The Jury, comprising of eminent thought leaders and
practitioners drawn from academia and industry will evaluate the entries on the
following criteria:
• How human-centred design played a role in the
entrepreneurial roadmap
• How empathy mode is exemplary in the development
of activities,
• How the company proposes a transformation which favours
the human situation.
• How environmental/technological/ business/ and
human (and social) needs were balanced.
