ARTICLE | The Power of Prototyping

Written by Galen MacLusky | August 13, 2018

To create change we need not have all the answers up front. Instead, the act of creating prototypes and testing them in real-world conditions can help us learn the answers we need along the way.

In this article, Galen MacLusky uses the example of Grameen bank to discuss how prototyping helps us to move our ideas forward without trying to get everything right the first time. This process acknowledges that we can never develop a complete solution to a social problem through analysis alone – we need to try things, create things, and learn from how our community reacts.
