We have organised this guide according to 5 themes for inclusive innovation.
But there are other ways to think about the topic, for example according to these 3 principles:
- Equitable, accessible and empowering
- Participative and collaborative
- Regenerative and adaptive
Equitable, accessible and empowering
Make sure:
- products and services meet everyone’s need by testing with people from different socio-economic backgrounds, areas and demographics, and with different abilities and accessibility needs
- adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 (WCAG) AA as well as the Equality Act of 2010.
- actively promote diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in all your processes, including hiring practices, workplace culture, and leadership development
- empower communities by educating and training people in the technical skills they need to take part in the digital economy
Participative and collaborative
- adopt a participative and collaborative approach by involving a wide range of stakeholders from different backgrounds, to create effective, equitable and inclusive innovations
- work with organisations around the world to share best practices and resources, so your innovations benefit people worldwide
Regenerative and adaptive
Integrate regenerative and adaptive principles, so you create innovative, sustainable solutions that can be shared equitably across society.
