Tab on ramp for SF supervisors'chamber adding upAugust 29, 2011 | Chronicle

What costs more: a home in San Francisco's Sunset District, or

a wheelchair ramp in the Board of Supervisors' chambers?

If you picked the house, you're wrong.

By the time the final tab comes in, the cost of designing andinstalling a ramp to the president's chair at the Board of

Supervisors - a project now under way - is expected to top out at$699,413. That is about $50,000 more than the median cost of ahome in the Sunset.

From best practice to nextpractice

RichardSimmons

Good/Best v Next Practice: innovatingto escape the status quo

Good/best practiceasks: what is

working?

Next practice asks:what could work more powerfully?


51/57

RichardSimmonsWhat is meant by Next Practice?

Next Practice, according to the UK Innovation Unit: is aware of conventional good practice, its strengths and limitations; and

explicitly sets out to take it to a new level or disrupt, profoundly evolve, orrevolutionise it

by implication, is conducted by very able, informed practitioners is located in an environment-scanning, needs-aware, futures-informed

ethos, seeking out alternative expert perspectives

is directed at serious, contemporary problems is not (yet) officially sanctioned or endorsed; and therefore does entail some

risk

is not a linear process is trialled in the field, then transferred to the mainstream

Sound like good, innovative design to you? It does to me!
