Living a balance life can be very hard and it becomes even harder when you have financial limitations and time constraints. There are some of the major reason that college students and staff tend to slide into an unhealthy unbalanced lifestyle at SCAD.

INTRODUCTION

SCAD Wellness is a university driven initiative that aims to create dynamic balance between academic and physical well-being through awareness, access, and action within the SCAD Community.

This will be achieved through have a holistic understanding of the SCAD wellness community and ecosystem, facilitating “joy of use� features of a wellness system and understanding the required and gained energy that related to a healthy lifestyle.

SLIMMING DOWN

OBJECTIVE Jumping into this project we wanted to explore opportunities that would be feasible in our timeframe and interesting to our group members. It was our objective in this first stage to pick a problem area to tackle and to gain a thorough understanding of the topic through extensive secondary research.

?

SLIMMING DOWN

This initial step has been crucial in the extended planning, design and solution execution as it provided us not only with an initial direction but also with a strong foundation of information that would become embedded in our personal knowledge banks.

PROCESS In order to set ourselves up for success in these initial stages we mapped out a plan that would keep us on track and allow us to slim down our focus to the opportunity that we could all feel passionate about. We would start this process with ideating and decision making to lead to a specific topic.

We would then proceed with a deep dive in to our secondary research.

6

GETTING STARTED

GETTING STARTED We had several ideas of which opportunity we would be most interested in exploring. We started off by having each team member individually brainstorm using the below guides as inspiration: • • •

Problems that bother you personally.

Problems that affect your age group.

Services or products that you think you could improve.

These guidelines provided the members with a direction when ideating on which topics they would most want to explore. From here we came together to discuss in more detail each topic and which were held the most promise for us to uncover design opportunities. We were able to narrow down our list to three topics that held a lot of promise for our group: • • •

Fitness at SCAD Food Waste at SCAD Off-campus housing at SCAD

8

GETTING STARTED

CHOOSING A TOPIC In order to come to a consensus on one topic we decided to scratch the service with secondary research on each topic. We would then use this information to assess the topics opportunities for design and feasibility within the project timeline.

We approached this stage strategically through analytical models such as mind maps, 2x2s, pros and cons and initial exploratory questions. Through mind maps, secondary research, and 2x2s we were able

to quickly eliminate the topic of off-campus housing.

From here we conducted a pros and cons assessment of Fitness at SCAD and Food Waste at SCAD. We were able to determine that there would be significant barriers to conducting phases of research with the topic of food waste. This along with the general interest in fitness led us to decide on the topic of Fitness at SCAD. From here we moved on to further secondary research on the topic.

In order to guide our secondary research phase we set up an early stages project schedule gantt chart. This would help guide us through all of the steps of our project and keep us on task. This would also help us get a full picture of expectations before seeking out more information on the topic of Fitness at SCAD. Along with the gantt chart, we set up a rough research plan (see appendix) to help guide us from a broad to a narrow focus.

We decided to start by researching fitness and nutrition at the macro United States level, we would then look at fitness and nutrition in Savannah and finally we would conduct research on fitness and nutrition at SCAD. models we were able to uncover key pieces of information related to the culture of health which would allow us to discover which questions needed to be asked and would guide us into further understanding of the topic.

This flow allowed us to see a bigger picture and to understand trends, best practices and the past, present and current moods around the culture of health. We implemented several models to fully digest our secondary research including: a trends matrix, culture-offering-activity map, a 2x2 and an interest group’s discussion model (see next page).

“Healthy” is not only for individuals, but also integrates into associations and businesses. It helps them to accomplish their goals of a productive and healthy employee base.

A healthy lifestyle helps to support a pathway of successful living.

By analyzing our secondary research via these models we were able to uncover key pieces of information related to the culture of health which would allow us to discover which questions needed to be asked and would guide us into further understanding of the topic.

14

INITIAL REFRAME The most critical take away from our first round of secondary research was that the idea of fitness and nutrition was limiting.

We discovered that the conversation around fitness and nutrition had moved on to a broader concept: Wellness.

DEEP DIVE

The concept of wellness at SCAD is what would drive us deeper into our research and into our project. The word wellness would fully encompass all of the elements in the ecosystem and culture of health. I hope was to move forward to gain an understanding of fitness, nutrition, stress relief, emotional and mental well being and an overall sense of a well balanced life.

Reframing allowed us also to begin to refine our research questions and develop a formal research plan to keep on track with what questions we wanted to have answered. Once we had created this research plan we were able to conduct another more refined layer of secondary research and were able to move confidently into our primary research plan.

Yishizhuxing ([yī], [shí], [zhù], [xíng]) is a summarized Chinese turn of phrase that describes the basic human needs of which include clothing, food, housing and transportation. This mantra is coined by the first president and founding father of the Republic of China.

Sun Yat-sen’s People’s Livelihoods was created to help him explain the relationship between political power and human rights.

We adapted these 4 chinese pilars to create our own, by putting together those that were similar and changing the names into those that specifically related to wellness so that could inspire the SCAD community by connecting to their basic needs.

OUTCOME Through rigorous research and in depth analysis we were able to effectively slim down our scope and our mission during this first stage of the project. We moved from having numerous topics, to researching fitness and nutrition, to reframing from ‘Fitness at SCAD’ to ‘SCAD Wellness’ and finally to formalizing our research plan.

By setting up our research plan we defined a more structured set of goals for discovery in the next phases of the project.

BOOSTING ENERGY

OBJECTIVE Moving into the next phase of our understanding of the culture of health and how it would tie into SCAD Wellness would require us to conduct in depth Primary Research and to begin to frame our knowledge and objectives through a creative brief. These steps would build our foundation and boost us further into the design process.

BOOSTING ENERGY

PROCESS Primary research is critical to understanding the micro ecosystem and culture related to our topic. We wanted to use our primary research to gain further insights into the general mood around wellness and then more specifically the mood around wellness at SCAD. We took a three pronged approach to this phase including a survey, observations and interviews. After gathering this information we would digest our primary research by affinitizing the data and developing insights. These insights would drive our focus while formalizing our creative brief.

24

PRIMARY RESEARCH We started off our primary research plan guided by our research questions and our tools (survey, observation and interviews). We came together to brainstorm what questions needed to be asked in the survey, what locations would be best to observe, and what types of people we would want to interview.

OBSERVATION

PRIMARY RESEARCH

As we moved into observations we wanted to think about where SCAD might engage in activities that would have a direct positive or negative impact on their ability to achieve wellness. We focused on places where people might engage in food consumption, fitness activities and community building. Are initial set of observations covered the following locations:

Kroger J.O’s Cafeteria Forsyth Farmers Market Club SCAD SCAD Studio Forsyth Park Earth Day

We were able to further back up our understanding that wellness was more than just physical fitness or a nutritious diet. We saw how people interacted with one another and gravitated towards the support of others to push their wellness forward. Also, through our observations at the Gulfstream Graduate Space we began to understand the way that proper sleep and stress management or lack there of could have a monumental effect on one’s wellness. These observations, along with the survey provided us with key take aways that would shape our interview plans.

Gulfstream Graduate Space

26

INTERVIEW

PRIMARY RESEARCH

Conducting interviews was a vital step in our process and our comprehension of the culture of health specifically with a focus on the SCAD community which consists of students, faculty and staff. We determined that it would be effective for us to interview individuals that we considered to be experts in the field of wellness both on SCAD campus and elsewhere. We also felt that from our SCAD community base we should interview both healthy and unhealthy individuals. These guidelines led us to interview the following individuals:

Expert: Arianne Avalos Meghan Purdy Kathleen Raysinger Healthy: Kim Folse Michael Bayless Charlotte Terrien Peter Warner Joel Cabrera Unhealthy: Yiman Chien Akimasa Hashimoto

The interviews provided us with an understanding of the impacts of unhealthy lifestyles over the long term in the form of diseases. They also shed light on people’s healthy and unhealthy habits. We began to understand that many people find it difficult to find time, money or energy to move to a more well balanced lifestyle. We saw that the individuals who had the easiest time incorporated wellness were either doing so based on routines that had been embedded

over long periods of time or by finding ways to simplistically integrate healthy habits into their existing routines. Plagued with a lack of energy and self discipline, our unhealthy candidates helped us better understand the ‘snowball’ effect of our choices. It was clear that one unhealthy choice would lead you to another unhealthy choice and that the reverse was true. Each healthy decision would build up to others.

28

PRIMARY RESEARCH

SURVEY We created our survey with the intention to gain a thorough understanding of people’s general mood on wellness and how they practiced their understanding in their lives. The survey results allowed us to see that many people had a firm and holistic view of wellness defining it as “a state of mental, spiritual, and physical health and balance. We discovered that the key primary barriers to maintaining wellness were drinking, time and energy.

Most people were motivated by a desire

AFFINITIZATION to “feel healthy” and “look good”. We also discovered that the majority of our respondents utilized support from friends and family to help keep them on track. The idea of building wellness around socializing and a community took a priority for our respondents. The survey provided useful information on perceptions, barriers and drivers around living a well-balanced life that would help guide our observations and interviews.

To fully capture the essence of our primary research and to pull out useful findings and insights we moved through the process of affinitizing our data points and interview quotes. This process yielded for us a deeper understanding of the data we had collected and the research we had conducted. We discovered that an individual’s built environment plays a huge role in their ability to pursue and maintain wellness. The tools and resources or lack there of that are readily available can completely alter someone’s ability to life a well balanced life. Built environment feeds directly into another key obstacle of time. Time and finding

ways to minimize its negative impact on a culture of health is essential to successfully promoting wellness. Lastly, we noticed that personality and an individual’s self discipline contributes to their lifestyle choices. The challenge will be to find ways to overcome these obstacles and create opportunity that moves the culture of health forward with simple all encompassing solutions.

We garnered a sense of direction and comprehension from our secondary and primary research efforts that allowed us to begin to formalize our intent and focus for discovering and executing of potential opportunities. We did this through our creative brief by defining wellness at SCAD through the lens of the background, drivers and competitors, community, message, logistics and target audience. We also took this time to draft our initial value proposition and to uncover our three main pillars of wellness as environment, accessibility and energy.

32

OUTCOME

BOOSTING ENERGY

The exhaustive process of conducting and thoroughly analyzing our primary research solidified earlier concepts generated in our secondary research process.

It also helped with clarifying points of confusion and eliminating assumptions that lacked substance. These activities boosted our energy and enthusiasm to take the project into the next phases that would allow us to further refine our direction and begin to formulate solutions.

BUILDING MUSCLE

OBJECTIVE After refining our ideas about SCAD Wellness through our Creative Brief and Value Proposition, we had another opportunity to further define our vision and mission during our midterm review. During our Building Muscle phase we would strive to paint a clear roadmap for the future of the project and how we might start to conceptulize and realize potential actionable solutions.

BUILDING MUSCLE

PROCESS The midterm review forced us to think about the program as a potential reality and something that would need to be ‘sold’. We honed in with our opportuniy statement as the guide. This allowed us to begin to frame out the services areas we might tackle with our wellness program.

It was through this process that we moved towards our secondary reframe of our project focus. As we began to think about the feasibility of SCAD Wellness, we came to the conclusion that we would need to think about prototyping the program at a smaller level before bringing it out to the entire community.

38

MIDPOINT REVIEW MIDPOINT REVIEW

VIDEO RECAP During our video creation we asked ourselves the question “what is wellness?”.

Wellness can be defined as living in a balanced emotional, physical and mental state through adequate sleep, healthy eating, physical activity and stress maintenance. Once we understood this our next task was to try to utilize our primary research to support our intent to find ways to seamlessly integrate wellness into people’s lives. We strived to understand and communicate what might inspire someone to make healthy lifestyle changes and push the culture of health forward.

40

MIDPOINT REVIEW

PERSONAS As we became to frame out our project and our early ideas of what a wellness program would include we needed to consider our potential useres. We utilized our experience from our interviews to come up with some early personas that would help guide us into the next phases. We decide to remain very basic with aim with our initial set of personas. We built out one persona off of our unhealthy interviewees and one based on our healthy interviewees. These general summaries of our intended users gave us a stronger understanding of what personal aspects of wellness we would be attempting to tackle moving forward.

42

MIDPOINT REVIEW

VALUE PROPOSITION We developed our value proposition for our midpoint review utilizing the base built from the Chinese mantra “Yishizhuxing�.

This mantra allowed us to understand what our three pillars would be initially and as we moved through our research we refined how we were titling this three core pillars of focus. We determined at this point that we would focus on environment, accessiblity and motivation.

We had originally titled the pillar for motivation as energy but felt a broader reframe of this word would alllow for more room to grow. Our mission, opportunity statement and value proposition use these three pillars as a base to discuss our desire to push the culture of wellness through the community by providing services and tools to allow people to seamlessly intergrate wellnesss into their lives.

Moving through our intitial set of research and the midterm review process gave us perspective on the feasibility of bringing to the entire universtiy as a first pass. We realized we would need to prove its effectiveness on a smaller scale to sell it in the larger environment. We took this time to reframe from a focus on SCAD to just a focus on the Gulfstream.

SECONDARY RESEARCH Understanding the challeneges faced with bringing a program to reality at the university level inspired us to do some comparative research with other successful wellness program especially those in the university setting. We conducted secondary research and analyzes of the data through this lens and worked through the ten types of innovation model to draw out insights. This proces further supported some of our initial thoughts on needing a program that covered more than just fitness and nutitriton. The best programs were hollistic and in their service offerings.

OBSERVATIONS

After reframing to gulfstream and conducting some additional secondary research we decided that it would be beneficial to flesh out our primary reserach for the reframe to gulf. We worked through a smaller round of primary observation with interviews and observations

During our second round of interviews we decided to specifically focus on two students that study in the Gulfstream building. We again broke out our categories by healthy and unhealthy.

For our second round of oberservations we decide to focus on areas in and around the Gulfstream building that related to health and wellness or realated to barriers to health and wellness.

around Gulfstream we could really understand what was preventing or aiding students in their pursuit of wellness. We observed inside the building of Gulfstream, at McDonalds, Family Dollar and the Montgomery Cafeteria.

We felt that by taking a closer look at the areas

BUILDING MUSCLE

OUTCOME The midterm review forced us to think about the tackle with our wellness program. We began to think about the feasibility of SCAD a smaller level before bringing it out to the entire community.

LIVING WELL

OBJECTIVE The objective of this final section was to create ideas that would adapt seamlessly to the user’s lifestyles. We ideated with the objective of implementing actions, services and products that were not only feasible, but that would help create healthy habits in the SCAD student body.

LIVING WELL

Gaining feedback from the users was also a key objective in order to validate our prototyping and testing processes.

PROCESS We went through a series of team activities that led us to concrete concept development. Working as a team and listening to each others ideas as well as reviewing insights uncovered in our research were an important part of the process to be able to deliver holistic concepts.

The final concepts presented in this project were a result of constantly reviweing our value proposition and making sure we were being cohesive with our initial pilars.

IDEATION

IDEATING

After clarifying our direction by reframing our topic to Wellness at Gulfstream, we began exploring ideas specific to this new scope. Primary research and the creation of personas gaves us the empathy needed to further relate to the user.

We began our ideation process with a warmup activity to get our creativity going. We approached this activity by making a redesign of the Gulfstream building as a whole. This was a free flowing idea session conducted with the 4 team members that led us to an AHA moment, key to our ideation process.

We realised that the factors of physical, nutritional and socializing values were meaningful not only to the team members but to the user group as well.

We plotted all of our ideas in a 2x2 matrix to have a visual of where these were on a base from short term to long term and from mild ideas to wild ideas.

This helped us then create a timeline over the 2x2 and decide which of them were feasible in an immediate timeperiod and which would need a year or more to be implemented. We selected those ideas on the 1-3 week time period to approach our prototyping process.

Our mission is to create a sustaining student run organization/government that will facilitate social events and meetings to help create a stronger and more well balanced student community inside GulfStream. We will combine the events and organization for all graduate programs inside the gulfstream space since we have a lot of classes together and the onground population is so small.

There should be an attempt to have a least one officer per program. In absence of an officer for a program then a designated representative should be assigned to help manage communications for the selected program.

Officers must be elected into office during the week following midterms of the quarter that the existing officer is leaving his/her post. It should be attempted to vote in students in either their first or second quarter with the intention/hope that they will stay in the position for at least one year or until they graduate.

INITIAL TESTING To initiate the Meal Sharing testing, we decided to start by being direct participants of the process. We began by informally assigning days of the week for each team member to cook, and a set time for deliveries to be made.

We quickly started generating opinions and feelings towards the meal sharing activity and decided to plot all of these observed feelings and thoughts into an empathy map to further understand how we could facilitate meal sharing before testing on other users.

Not leaving Gufstream

78

USER TESTING Once we were more familiarized with meal sharing, we started testing it with Gulfstream students. Our main objective was to observe how easy or difficult this task was for them and if it was actually benefitial to integrate it in their current lifestyle.

The users self reported and took pictures of their en results and process. Additionally, they reported the advantages and the concerns they encountered during the process.

TESTING

Once the advantages and concerns were adressed, we created a “how might we� question that lead to the starting point to design the meal sharing App presented in the previous prototyping section.

ADVANTAGES -Try new flavors -Eat healthier -Have available meals effortlessly -Saving time and money

CONCERNS -Tools: Tupperware and cutlery -Diversity: diet, economic effort, delivery, portion size -Communication and scheduling: reminders, recipes, delivery hours

OVERCOMING CONCERNS

How might we facilitate meal sharing for a diverse, multicultural student body at Gulfstream?

OUTCOME The outcome of this part of the process was to bring together all the ideation into a an integrated set of activities, services or events that would seamlessly start integrating wellness into the student body’s lifestyle.

would need to be addressed in order to make all these ideas a reality.

Starting by identifying stakeholders to talk to that can facilitate the implementation of these ideas in Gulfstream, we would then need feedback from the users to reframe or better already existing ideas.

It was a crucial part of the process since it made ideas more tangible and user testing lead to more upcoming steps to be taken in the journey to wellness at SCAD.

Once we have been able to implement the wellness program at Gulfstream, we would then identify the stakeholders at a broader level for the whole SCAD community. Implementation would then take place in each SCAD building maintaining a strong and unified core.

CONCLUSION

SCAD Wellness has the foundational framework needed to be implemented as a hollistic wellness program in the SCAD Community. SCAD Wellness will achieve this through a continued focus on the three core missions and the four core areas of service. By focusing on accessiblity, motivation and environment SCAD Wellness has been able push out the starting blocks for services around fitness, nutrition, stress management and community building.

SCAD Wellness has the potential to move forward as a reality in the SCAD community through communication with key stakeholders in the Gulfstream building and with the SCAD community at large. By running a prototype at Gulfstream SCAD Wellness will be able to prove affectiveness and work out potential kinks in the offerings. This will be a time for refining the services. Once the program has been refined the next steps will be to scale it up to the university level and work with key stakeholders in the University to realize the vision.

WELLNESS AT SCAD

CREATIVE BRIEF LOGISTICS

We have two major limitations for seeing our potential solution through to completion which are time and money. We are limited to a 10 week span of time for the entire process and have no budget to work with. Therefore our objective will be to build sound research and create a feasible system design prototype that will inspire others to take it further so that the solution can be realized.

COMMUNITY We will be appealing to the SCAD community which includes the students, faculty, and staff. The hope is to sell the solution to the end user in order to drum up demand before appealing to the “stakeholders” in the SCAD hierarchy.

Appendix 11: Creative Brief TARGET AUDIENCE We will be speaking to SCAD students, faculty, and staff. They will most likely be receptive as we are a part of their current community. If they are concerned with fitness and nutrition than they will be directly impacted in a positive way by any solutions we may implement.

MESSAGE Our message will be positive and focused on the future state of wellness. Our tone will be friendly, enthusiastic and energetic, encouraging the community to action. We will communicate through social media and printed material to inform and invite the community to become part of our movement. We will create a wellness vocabulary that relates directly to the community of well being.

APPENDIX

DRIVERS & COMPETITORS BACKGROUND We hope to provide a system which focuses on fitness and nutrition in order to improve the overall well being of our target audience. Currently students and faculty are inundated with work and frequently personally well being takes a “back seat”. We hope through our research and design that we will be able to overcome this obstacle through a sustainable system and through thorough communication to the SCAD Community.

It is our belief that active and healthy individuals are more positive, productive and successful. Through awareness, access, and action we will create opportunity and push the discussion of well being to it’s tipping point.

Our primary competition is the local gym and fitness offerings in Savannah. By providing higher quality services and accessibility, our competition has been able to pull students away from SCAD fitness offerings. Our secondary competitor is time which causes many of our students to forgo fitness and nutrion. We hope to bring them into a health conscious mindset through a comprehensive wellness system.
