Abstrakt: The article focuses on the relationship between Design Anthropology and Business Design, emphasizing how Design Anthropology provides a human-centered approach to understanding and addressing business challenges. It highlights the importance of reframing problems as human challenges within broader cultural and systemic contexts, utilizing methods such as ethnographic research and co-creation. The Climate Action Lab initiative is discussed as a practical application of these principles, where high school students engaged in participatory research to explore barriers to climate action, ultimately fostering a sense of agency and connection. Key takeaways for practitioners include broadening problem framing, engaging stakeholders as co-creators, and using future-oriented inquiries to uncover deeper insights. [Extracted from the article]
