Feedback from a talk with Adeel at Project Spaces coworking space
- I have cluster of problems that contribute to me bieng in the state that I'm in and unless that probelm is resloved I'm going to be panhandling
- if calling the number on the front is going to help a problm then I will do it
- If you can not tell me with confidence that it jill help, why the would I call the number
- I have a problem that results in me being in psychological state of mind, that if not addressed, will prevent me from looking at the card.
- how do i feel anbout what is being proposed
- Have a way for me to express myself.
- That which is measued improves
- That which is measured and reported on improves exponentially
- could be a part of an education strategy
- doesn't have to be a cards
- could be information and service delivered timely
- I lost my job, get connected with the Toronto Unemplloyment fund
- should be focused on eductation
- Connex Ontario
- Mental health service line
- Does the city skyline give positive feelings
- The Chalmers Logo stands out, and the Chalmers title stands out
- But the Call to action should stand out most
- In the case of Version9 beta -- the 211
- The free clothes food, assault counseling resouces.
- Quantify which resources will have the most impact for users
- does the Mister Chalmers brand build trust
- a call to action would be closer to the point
- the short guy with the beard who works at vista print knows a lot about psychology and design
- even with adding womens on 211, somehting like if a person needs an abortion, the resource is still only implicit in "Womens services"
- also the women's resource isn't currently listed
- ask 'what one policy, if you changed it, changes the whole direction of the ship'
- embrace the status quo to change the system
- use terms that are used in the system as it is right now
- talk in terms of existing resources in the system
- ask the system how it can be changed
- talk to someone already working in the system as it is currently
- even if they disagree with the system change you're working towards will often have great ideas
- challenge actors working in the existing system by appealing to their eith
- the path to change will often change
- for example: an elected official with whom you've built a relationship will loose office
- in this example, loosing this person may speed you towards your goal
- you must hang on and be tenacious
- a formal process where you send an email explaining what your startup is about OPN-Ninja
