Description

Selecting a Setting X, developing the Social Cohesion Design Mission and generating Subscenarios.

Step 1

• Organise SC-Design Team
• Analyse Assignment
• Choose setting X, Identify Actors, Elements & Events
• Build 3D Scenario Board of Setting X

Setting X is a sample taken from the community in which the technology is to be implemented.
Setting X consists of elements (In the Coffee Case assignment 2010-2011: copymachine, toilets, staircase, offices, service desk, video screens, speakers, etc. present at the setting X). Actors consist of employers, employees, cleaning personal, etc. For setting X ‘Fields of Opportunity’ are identified: Potential events that may take place when certain elements in the Setting X are included in the technology design. Elements and their ‘Fields of Opportunity’ are distributed among the team members to start writing Sub Scenarios.

Step 2

Conduct research into SC-perception.
Apply Q Methodology and Factor Analysis. Define SC mission.

Do-It-Yourself SC Design Toolkit.

For the Douwe Egberts case 2010-2011 studentteams were equiped with: the Do-It-Yourself SC Design Toolkit.
The Toolkit contained :

• The SC Design instruction manual;
• The SC Design Q Board, and the full set of Q cards;

The Toolkit functioned as a storage space for the 3D Scenario Board.

Step 3

Develop Sub Scenarios on Individual basis.
Taking into account that scenarios for tech implant are focusing users as well as non-users! In SC Design students design for actors (users and non users, influenced by the technology). Drama is used as the Course ” Methaphor”. Approximately 7 Subscenarios per team member are developed.
