How We Do It

We see constraints as opportunities and believe in a world full of possibilities. We know that no problem is insurmountable, and find hope in human stories.

Teamwork is at the heart of everything we do. The challenges we’re facing are too big to solve alone, and we believe we are more powerful together than we ever could be on our own.

We’re people people—one hundred percent committed to the success of our partners and the communities they serve. We’re also dedicated to supporting each other.

When tackling big, intractable challenges, we aren’t afraid to get a little messy. We rarely have all the answers, but we’re confident we can uncover them.

At IDEO.org, ownership is about commitment. Our mission is to bring design to challenges of poverty, and we put our hearts into it every day.

Bold solutions often come from humble beginnings. We take mistakes in stride and aren’t afraid to try again, armed with better questions and new insights.

On our quest to uncover fresh solutions, we roll up our sleeves and get out there, leveraging craft and diverse talents to make our ideas tangible every step of the way.
