EWB Nigeria Way

Our approach is design thinking and system thinking. We analyze every problem as a system and then apply design thinking to design and develop the right technologies. Everything is part of a system. Design thinking places the people we are solving problem for at the center of the problem-solving process. We believe engineers solve problems and create value for people.

Identify the Problem: Separate symptoms and effects from the cause of the problem

Empathize With People Embark on empathy visit to understand the people with their problem and how they relate with the problem.

Define the Problem: Using the 5 why to get at the root of the problem

Prototype: Creating a minimum viable model of the solution or technology that focuses on needs of people.

Test: Find out what meets solves the problem, resonates with the people and can easily be adopted into their life.

System-Wise Implementation: Start implementation and iterate along the way.
