Belonging Advocacy Framework
Change is constant. Change is not easy. And being an agent of change within an organization is hard. At Storycraft Lab we’re blessed to work with clients that are invested in innovation and doing new things. As a result, change management has become a core component of our services and capabilities. We counsel change agents encountering a need to advocate and build cultures that will support a shifting perspective on experience design — and value measurement — that a focus on Belonging brings.
So, we’ve developed this infographic to support change agents in setting the foundation for Belonging Centered Design. It provides a storytelling framework that balances the risk-mitigation and many rewards that Belonging can bring, and a trove of the research that supports it all. Conveying the future vision and promise — and offering the opportunity to lead an innovation effort — is key to winning over those executive sponsors, the team of stakeholders and the budgets and process change commitments that are foundational.
