The client asked: As technological advancements like CRISPR reshape society, how can we ensure responsible innovation that incorporates cross-sector and community perspectives and helps us plan for the future? How do we mobilize cross-sector leaders to navigate the social complexities of genetics? And, how do we do it in ways that move at the speed of the market?

Solution:

We are piloting an 18-month participatory design accelerator program that brings together policymakers, funders, genetics innovators, storytellers, and community leaders. Through co-creative design labs and interdisciplinary collaboration, we aim to generate actionable recommendations to help further CRISPR innovation and impact. The result? A scalable model for fostering cross-sector and cross-perspective innovation in high stakes technological developments from CRISPR to AI to ensure the greatest good.
