What: In 2010, I produced and co-facilitated a series of 5 design thinking workshops with latin american social entrepreneurs, industry leaders and academic institutions (Tec de Monterrey and IPADE), to find strategic partnership opportunities between sectors (healthcare, microfinance, sustainable agriculture, civic innovation) as part of the Full Economic Citizenship Initiative at Ashoka.

Methods: 

World Cafe in collaboration with Ferananda Ibarra / 

Design Thinking and Future Scenarios in collaboration with Next Plays and Paola Desentis 

Insights: The political and economic crisis has made the mexican industry and opinion leaders to look for new opportunities to reinvent their business-as-usual practices. Finding strategies to collaborate with other sectors is crucial to make the system more resilient and innovative, and creative workshops are the first step towards that collaboration.
