Design for Social Impact by Aaron Sklar and Sally Madsen

I have recently read an article called "Design for Social Impact" by Aaron Sklar and Sally Madsen (IDEO) which talks about the principles designers need to have to achieve success in human-centered design.
Their list goes on like this:
1.Start with empathy
2.Design for communities
3.Take a systems view
4.Make appropriate trade-offs
5.Prepare your team
I agree with their approach, I believe empathy and direct connection to others definitely help the cause and help the designers come up with fresh ideas. Also the design team should always see the big picture.(the system of operations) How the product will fit into the community, how they can be trained to use it, how it will be distributed and what happens when the design team leaves.
I encourage designers to read it, and learn how designers have adapted to the field of social entrepreneurship.
