Continuum have just completed their report on the recent Design for Social Impact Workshop hosted by the Rockefeller Foundation at their Bellagio Conference Center and have it available for download from their website. Here's the intro,

How can we unleash and leverage the power of the global design community on some of the world's most intractable problems? How can we increase the collaboration between the design industry and the the social sector? And do so in a systematic and sustainable way? The Rockefeller Foundation engaged Continuum to lead a conversation with some of the world's top designers to explore questions like these - questions with big implications for the industry as a whole. Call it Design for Social Impact.
