Engage users directly in the design of solutions that will affect them.

Design Plan

Option 2:
Develop strategic recommendations or a policy
Time frame: 8-10 weeks
Budget: $60,000-$80,000

How do I do this?

  • Expert interviews and stakeholder workshops

    Method

    To design the engagement with community members and ensure problems are identified and well articulated prior to co-design.
  • Co-design workshop(s)

    Method

    A facilitated workshop in which citizens, users or stakeholders are brought together to collaboratively define problems and potential solutions. Multiple workshops may be run to accommodate access and inclusion needs or to focus workshops on particular groups or problems.

What will I get?

  • Opportunities and recommendations

    Output

    An output of research that highlights important things or ‘so whats’ that require attention and action.
  • Basic prototypes

    Output

    A simulation, demo or mock-up of a site, product or service that you can use to test your ideas before beginning to build.

Pros

  • Collaboratively builds an understanding of both problem and solution
  • Brings diverse groups together

Cons

  • May be difficult to reach a consensus on problems and solutions
