Year round learning for product, design and engineering professionals

Video Ristretto: Rose Matthews – Financial Inclusion in the Solomon Islands

The Pacific region has long been considered in need of development. Countless projects from around the world have intervened over the decades and yet there’s been very little real change for the people. Could a human-centred design approach finally create the opportunities remote community dwellers desire? In 2015 Fjord and Good Return partnered up to find out.

Rose Matthews’ presentation was a highlight of Web Directions 2015, in which she took us through the tricky – sometimes seemingly impossible – task of using web technology to improve the lives of residents of a small nation in the Pacific Ocean. Terrific insights applicable to many of us.

Our upcoming conference Direction is full of incredible insights for digital product designers, owners and managers just like this. So why haven’t you signed up yet?
