The Details

Delivered remotely over 2 days, these live and interactive sessions cover

Discovering the Power of Co-Design

Day 1 gives you a solid introduction to the co-design and prototyping methods used within Service Design. We will take you through several rounds of prototyping and iteration allowing you to refine ideas in a practical and hands on manner.

Doing this changes the design process, challenges our professional roles, and provides our stakeholders with a voice they probably did not have before.

Prototyping

Day 2 gives you and your team the opportunity to develop a series of prototypes. These ideas will be brought to life through rapid prototyping before presenting your prototypes to the wider audience.

The approach we take helps design solutions not only for the users, but with them, achieving democratic outcomes based on the ideas and feedback ensuring all voices are heard.
