The star…• Starting on Minus Zero
• No volunteers
• No supporting leaders or agencies
• Prejudice about organ donation on both, the people (Latinos) and the agencies attending Latinos
• No known friends or connections in Illinois
Crying was not an option…
But we believe that…
Nothing is impossible when we commit ourselves to a higher cause
What did we do?• Research:
• our population composition: number, location, origin
• agencies serving them and their leadership
• Make a list: Select the leaders better fit for your needs & goals
• select very carefully based of their achievements and leadership skills.
• Prepare a strategic plan and objectives:
• Goals & Roles
• Expectations

We cannot produce different results by doing the same things we always do
We need to use new methods, show new ideas.We need to have a innovative approach to the challenge to increase donor designation.
It is about thinking Smarter, no Harderand creating innovatively to get results.
Some statements to highlight…
Needfinding is a process of looking for new opportunities
Framing. It’s what happens when you gather a set of observations and look for the important patterns.
After you develop some frames, then the process turns to Creative Combination.
Ideas that emerge as worthy of detailed study are then Prototyped.

Organ & Tissue Donation: What Illinoisans think about it
PR/Public Education
The truth is that our mission of saving lives is the magic key to open doors and engage community leaders and the media
We need to create innovative approaches to outreach people we normally don’t influence in order to increase donor designation
The truth
The Innovation Cycle
The goal is to prototype as quickly as possible so that the learning process can be accelerated
Learning about the edge may require us to spend time with people that we’re not used to being with, and require us to understand what may be a much different thinking
