TechTransformed is a programme by Doteveryone, an independent think tank that researches how technology is changing society, creates products and prototypes that show what responsible technology looks like, and catalyses communities to create change.
TechTransformed is made possible by investment from the Omidyar Tech and Society Solutions Lab.
SUMMARY ✎
Technology is an amazing source of wonder that can reshape the world. So you need to be confident about the impact your products will have. Digital technologies can bring great benefits. But until recently innovators have often been blind to the potential harms that can come with them. Growing public concern and government initiatives to regulate are changing that. Bad practice has been called out and tech ethics have become a mainstream conversation.
Now it’s vital to act. People who make technology have to navigate real-world dilemmas and make difficult trade-offs every day. TechTransformed meets this need with resources for strategy, product development, and product design that reconcile big-picture ethics with hands-on delivery. It sits alongside how organisations work today, so products can still be created at speed with responsibility embedded at every stage.
TechTransformed is based on wide-ranging research into the challenges businesses face to being responsible and the public’s needs from the digital technologies that shape their lives.
TechTransformed enables organisations to:
- Innovate with different mindsets - Multi-disciplinary collaboration to understand the intended and unintended consequences of technologies and the contexts they’ll be used in
- Grow and scale responsability - Find new opportunities by building an organisational story stakeholders can identify with and breaking down unintentional barriers
- Win top talent - Attract and retain the best people by supporting your teams in thinking critically and embedding the organisation’s values in their work
- Make better products - Take dedicated time to engage with beneficial criticism using practices aimed at making a quality product aligned with the highest standards
All the resources are free to use – because everyone should be able to be a responsible innovator.
