The “Five S” Methodology for Designing Effective Social Interventions
Our “5 S’s” include: Structure, System, Scale, Symbol and Sensation. We dig into the “5 S’s” as our first step towards designing effective social interventions. We use it to fully explore the terrain we’re working in before we begin selecting our approach. When we fail to do so, we can end up intervening at the wrong scale or with a symbol that doesn’t resonate, etc.
