2020 strategic priorities
= <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color:#afeeee;">Fall 2020 Priorities: </span></span> =
<span style="font-size: larger;">Since some time, Universidad del Desarrollo has invested many resources to improve the innovation and entrepreneurship enviroment by building a place just ment for that and by creating an amazing ecosystem to all of the students and personel that work there. The most importante place called Plaza i, let student's gather and discuss problems or/and create projects to solve any type of problem they find in our campuses. </span>
<div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">Even with all the great things our university has done to improve this ecosystem and to make students feel interest to be a part of it, the current I&E ecosystem is a little bit confusing and complicated. This makes it hard for students to feel there's a place where they can gather whenever they want and where they realize problems can be solved. </span><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size: larger;">Those are the reasons why not every student is keen to this ecosystem and why not everyone knows about everything that is available on campus. Along with that, there are interdisciplinary activities missing where students can get more tools about I&E and put in practice what they already know about those subjects.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: larger;">The priorities are to get to the students, make them close to the I&E ecosystem and let them use every opportunity that is available on campus to make them better at what they do everyday and to make them feel they have the space to become great problem solvers. </span>
= <span style="background-color:#40e0d0;">Strategy #1: Design Thinking elective course</span> =
<span style="font-size:larger;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-1430a8b5-da57-ae98-f123-9309972db804"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(29, 33, 38); background-color: rgb(247, 248, 250); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This strategy consist in creating an elective course that teaches "how to" and then puts in practice how to help small, already existing entrepreneurships by the digan thinking method. </span></span></span>
<span style="font-size:larger;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-1430a8b5-da57-ae98-f123-9309972db804"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(29, 33, 38); background-color: rgb(247, 248, 250); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With this course we seek to help student to put their knowledge to practice before facing the professional world, but also we hope that students put their knowledge in service of their own communities and can learn through the Service Learning methodology.</span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">This strategy seeks to upgrade all the I&E information from our web pages and bring it all together an easy access app. </span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Nowadays technology has a mayor impact in our lives and the pandemia has showed us just how easy it is to be connected with everyone and everything if you have the proper tools.</span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">UDD is an I&E leader in our country, but there are many students who might feel left out just because they do not feel integrated or do not totally comprehend the innovation ecosystem, our new app is here to show them just how easy it is to participate. </span>
== <span style="font-size: medium;">Tactic #1: Present our project.</span> ==

<span style="font-size: medium;">We want to include our community to participate in the new app design, that way we can gather more information about how students want to access I&E. </span>

This project is about helping students to find the motivation to innovate.
We will base our open challenges on ONU's Sustainable Development Goals and try to move our student's cores to make them participate in this short challenges were we will look for solutions through Design Thinking and then take action as a group.
The Challenges have three steps :
#<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> We expose our challenge on social media, on faculty TVs and other forms of advertising o.</span>
#<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> We collect solution ideas in blackboards with post its in public uni spaces and we invite students to participate in short workshops. </span>
#<span style="font-size:medium;"> In this short workshops we seek real solutions through design thinking, and as a team we develop them and put them in practice.</span>
== <span style="font-size:smaller;">Tactic #1: Validate idea</span> ==
<div></div>
To start we will present this idea to the Change Agents Central, under the Innovation department, to map the project with them. We will also present this idea to the Students Affairs department to get all the permissions to use furniture and physical places.
== <span style="font-size:smaller;">Tactic #2:Try the idea out #0</span> ==
<div></div>
We will take a small group of students who already participate in innovation projects and test our idea.
== <span style="font-size:smaller;">Tactic #3: Present what we learned.</span> ==
<div></div>
After the prototype is tested, we will make the necessary changes and present our ideas again.
== <span style="font-size:smaller;">Tactic #4: Get our iThiking Challenges going! .</span> ==

<div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
*Design a poster and leave it in every computer as a wallpaper to motivate students to go to the Plaza i, and there they have an induction of the place.
*Modification: Add to the screensaver (poster) an incentive, for example free pizza, to go visit the building.
<div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div>Reflection: At first sight, some of the audience will be interested in going to visit the building, getting to know about what happens there, and take part of the projects. Also, it will probably be a minor number of people. Improving the screensaver with an incentive, can bring more people to get to know the place and later, eventually, become interested in the building itself and its projects.</div><div><br/></div><div>Adaptation: At first, my idea was to make students aware of a place that could give them tools for innovation that they didn't have nor use through a publicity that was going to be deployed as a wallpaper in the lab. computers (wich are pretty much used by every student nowadays). But seeing the board made me realize that this could be a lot bigger, I think that if we manage to set a plan that develope this big abstract "innovation" concept through different and more tangible aspects like (mindsets philosophy, coding, etc) in a ten month period that could be displayed as a thematic publicity that engage with students in all ways (Social media, faculty banners, apparel, etc). A big opportunity could be created for different segments to relate. For example, entrepreneurs could be involved in the process so they can expose their projects to the students but also to different market sponsors that could be interested like (Hardware, software, telecommunications, etc) in the networks created. In this process, students can engage with entrepreneurs and even create relationships that could become collaborative projects. This of course enabled by a well designed program/campaing that could lure stundents to this activities.</div><div><br/></div>
== Tactic #1: Validate the idea. ==
<span style="font-size: 12px;">See if it is feeasible to change computer's wallpapers and carry out the campaign.</span>
== Tactic #2: Desing atractive material. ==
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Design wallpapers and broadcast material, that can really atract stutend to the place.</span>
== Tactic #3: Ask for permissions. ==
<span style="font-size: 12px;">We have to get the permissions to change computer's wallpapers, to be able to diffuse and use the building.</span>
== Tactic #4: Ready! ==
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Do the activities and invitations. Very important: Buy the pizza! ;)</span>
