Hi T
Yes, but I would also assume even untrained designers can, under the right circumstances, prove themselves able to 'design' experiences which contribute to social innovation. It is just that with a greater focus on 'mechanisms of influence' designers and design researchers may have the opportunity to become more skilled through their 'reflective experiences'.

Hi J , K and GK,
Is it assumed the design researchers or trained designers are involved with the designing? Or otherwise?
Best wishes,
T

Dear Kev
Yes thanks much for this. Yes practice is perhaps limiting, and I like, by your use of "experience" the direction towards meaning production.
Let me look at your video!

Hi Jude
A thought I might add to this discussion is that it has been occurring to me in my research on Designing for Transformational Experiences, that we talk about reflection in and on Practice, and reflexion, but in terms of social innovation shouldn't we be encouraging a wider perspective than Practice and maybe refer to reflection and reflexion on Experience. I often start my lectures by asking my audiences to think: "What does this mean for me?" They are not 'practicing' at that point, so I'm asking them to reflect upon their experience, in session, as a 'meaning making' part of the social innovation process.
As an example of what I do you might want to watch the vimeo link just below. It is a public talk I give on gender which engages the audience in thinking about the differences between their intellectual and emotional experiences of gender.
