Ethical Design: Reducing the Digital Divide

Ethical design is an approach that builds on the teachings of human-centered design. We have put together a booklet on Ethical Design, to help us all design a world that is more inclusive and where people live in just societies in harmony with nature. In this presentation we will present our thinking and a selection of tools on Ethical Design as well as case examples on how we’re used the tools with our customers.
