Our Design Methodology
Our Design Methodology
Take a minute to read about how we work.
It all starts with listening. We engage with as diverse people groups as we can.
We prioritise understanding the needs and the solutions already available within our community. We call this process Co Design.
We do this through participatory workshops, street engagement, local talks and forums. We’re always learning and trying to do this better.
Once we know what we are trying to do and what those we are serving want to happen, we employ local enterprises, facilitators, partners to help move forward. We invest in the local economy for economic growth, opportunity and inspiration.
We believe in solutions led by, designed and driven by our communities. We don’t start or execute any project without the community.
We engage positively. A positive mindset is the base on which we are built. We believe and together we build dreams.
We engage partners, collaborators, and funders into the process to scale ideas into projects, reach new audiences and share what we’ve learned.
We value partnership. We build networks of trust.
We love testing new models. We embrace innovation. We appreciate disruption and we love feedback.
Exploring is how we got here. Listening is what lets us stay. Improving is what makes us unique.
Our strength is in Thinking Differently.
After we adapt, improve and scale the service, product or programme,
we SHIFT the balance.
We’re always checking in with the community and others
Making sure each decision is that of collective design.
We use design thinking, participatory methods and our lived experience to deliver meaningful experiences and impactful work.
How we work is what makes us different.
