The Application of the Firma Model
- 1. The application of the Firma Model Sociomedia UXSF 2015 Summer by J Hobbs
- 2. Hi. Again.
- 3. Hi. Again. Recap. Why the need for the Firma Model?
- 4. A humanistic approach to design should place improving people’s lives, individually and collectively, at the heart of its ambition. Design also requires that these solutions are accountable and sustainable.
- 5. A humanistic approach however does not mean that we can bias our research focus towards users at the expense of understanding complex problems in their totality.
- 6. Sustainability and accountability require that we consider all players in the problem-ecology such that we may place the well-being of the system centre stage. That the ultimate solution is humanistic is just one of the challenges we face as designers.

- 36. History • Apartheid • Poor communities • Lack of resources, infrastructure and access to land
- 37. Economy • Farming is regarded as a good career • Provide a good product • Compete with commercial farmers • Struggle to secure capital • Cant access price information • Farming business needs to improve • Contribute to the local economy
- 38. Culture • Farming is a common heritage • Strong oral tradition • Religious • African • Paternal • Culture of entitlement • Urban
- 39. Politics • Political favoritism • Government infighting effects service • Policy inconsistencies • Lack solidarity • JHB City has food plan- not effective in execution
- 40. Society • Farmers are perceived as not of value • Farming is not see as a career • (unless you are rich) • Community is grateful for produce • Security issues: theft and vandalism
- 41. Physical environment • Natural threats • Water accessibility issues • Waste and litter • Farming improves the environment • Difficult to access markets due to poor transport • Poor local amenities
- 42. Technological environment • Online banking • Love google • Olyx, Facebook, Whatapp, etc • Regard tech as a sign of progress • Find content often hard to understand • Farmers use the internet frequently • Hate browsing- cost to much in data
- 43. Legacy • Farmers had previous careers • Different ambitions • No formal jobs available • Desperation • Natural curiosity led them to farming • Knowledge gaps
- 44. Organisation • Socially connected to local community • Self organised • Farmers Forum • Struggle to organise themselves effectively • Clash with poor city organisation
- 45. Marketplace • Family consumption • Walk-ins • Schools, Nursery Schools, Hospitals • Spaza shops • Erratic consumers • Farmers have poor marketing skills • Threats: Commercial wholesalers, cheap unhealthy food
- 46. Users - Soweto Farmers • Formally educated • Family providers • Want sustainable farming • Relate well to other farmers • Aspire to be better farmers • Enjoy learning • Very committed to farming

- 71. The model for research
- 72. The model for research Ways to use the model: • Planning research activities • A tool for multi-stakeholder engagement workshops • Data mapping, tagging and categorization (affinity modeling) • Conducting research GAP analysis
- 73. The model for strategy
- 74. The model for strategy Ways to use the model: • For guiding and enriching ideation through, for example, facilitated co-design workshops • The validation of ideas as prototypes in testing under conditions that are reflective of the problem-ecology
- 75. The model for critique
- 76. The model for critique Ways to use the model: • It may also be applied in the critique of design work that has been conducted by other designers or organisations. • To apply across various design projects where a consistent model is required (for example, in a design competition spanning multiple topics), • Or in comparing work dealing with a single topic perhaps from radically disparate contexts (for example, three different design solutions for public transport, one from New York, one from Lagos and one from Warsaw).
- 78. It seemed to us that the logical next step for the development of the model was to identify design methods, techniques and tools that could be used during research, strategy and critique within the areas of concern.
- 79. Logical, yes. Easy, no.

- 84. Scope: For the first iteration we would only include design techniques. We will enrich the index later with techniques from business, marketing, etc.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- The three primary aims of the Firma Model are to: Provide a generic research framework that can be applied to broadly and deeply explore and define problem ecologies Identify key areas of concern within the problem ecology and thus assist in articulating the design strategy (i.e. how should the areas of concern be changed) Lastly, provide the basis for critiquing the resultant design solution based on a knowledge of what the problem was and the desired change
- It provides traceability, sustainability and accountability

- PARTICIPANTS USE CREATIVE TOOLS SUCH AS COLLAGE AND CLAY
- TO RESPOND TO PROBLEMS SET BY THE DESIGNER
- DATA IS GENERATED PRINCIPALLY WHEN THE PARTICIPANTS DISCUSS THEIR CREATIONS
- In general participants responded well to the exercises although many at first considered the task to be “for children”. Once the discussions of the artefacts begun, they become very engaged and often my role was only to redirect or end the conversation. Having the designed artefacts as the focal point of the conversation did allow for insights to emerge in real time that became critical to the authors understanding of the farmers needs. For example, in the second exercise many of the farmers modeled farm equipment such as mulchers, tractors, water purification systems, (not very imaginative). At first these items seemed to offer very little relation to a possible interaction design solution however it soon became apparent that what was been described was the farmers need to expand production and farm more smartly utlising semi- industrial methods and smarter business practice. This became a highly informative insight that orientated much of the later design strategy.

- Amongst other things, an effective design strategy should include the purpose of the design effort (a description of why the problem is a problem and to whom) and a clear articulation of the change expected as a result of the design intervention. Without these two elements it would be difficult to guide the solutioning process and evaluate its impact with any rigor. It follows then that the design strategy would emerge from design research (rather than as an input) and prior to solutioning. For the purposes of design strategy, the Firma Model assists in clearly describing what the problem is, the specific areas of concern at play and the affected stakeholders in the problem ecology. Knowing this, it becomes possible to then articulate how these areas of concern (their stakeholders and relationships) should change as a result of the design intervention to move from a problem ecology to a solution ecology.
- Using what was familiar to the farmers, channeled through the fictional characters in a narrative form, allowed the farmers to engage with the problem contexts in meaningful way and provide clear and purposeful feedback about the accuracy of the mapping.

- The Model applied in design research and strategy provides a strong basis for critique. Knowing which areas are of concern, and how they (and others) should change, makes knowing where to look to understand impact, a logical progression. Many measures already exist to understand change within the fields and disciplines interested within individual areas of concern. Economics has its measures, businesses have their measures, marketplaces have their measures, etc. All of these measures can be applied in harmony with the Firma Model. Where we believe additional value is offered through the use of the Model is: In understanding the impact across multiple areas of concern (the systemic dimensions of the problem / solution ecology), In providing a framework and research that spans areas of concern such that a broad view can be taken to observe and identify unintended consequences of change, and Having provided a solution hypothesis, if the change required does not occur (or occurs with new problems), it is possible to trace the thinking back to the initial understanding of the problem ecology to revisit either its interpretation and or the solution upon which it evolved.
