Making an Impact -- Marc Rettig

Marc Rettig (Fit Associates) argues that we need to reframe our work. Instead of thinking about how to write better research reports or make more impactful videos, we need to look at the social context of the individuals, households, and communities that it affects. A couple of quotes: “The essential work is to build social fabric.” “If you want your work to have meaningful, lasting impact, this is an important reframing.” (From the IIT Design Research Conference, October 2009.)
