Primarily working in the UK, but more recently innternationally to address a wide range of social challenges and build on social opportunities
We specialise in engaging and empowering people at the heart of the work – the public, the public sector frontline workers and management, and a range of other relevent stakeholders
And working with them to identify, design and implement social innovations

Our method is co-design, the partnership between collaboration and design And this collaborative, design approach is applied at all stages of t a problem solving process
Our Visual communication skills - Designers have an ability to visuallycommunicate messages, concepts and strategies.It is the designers’ visual communication skills that enhance theparticipatory design process by: producing attractive engagementmethods; tools to gather insightful information; prototyping ideas;and giving visual presentations to clients and citizen. Seeing things differently - an observational skill that allowsdesigners to assess a social challenge or situation in a new ordifferent way and therefore work with people to inject this. Risk taking - Calculated risks are taken in order to move a conceptforward and turn it into a 'deliverable' ready for implementation. They communicate with them visually, engaging them through tools andtechniques, and then enable and empower them through participatorymethods. This facility at connecting helps develop creativity, andproduce innovative solutions.The qualities that make a designer goodat the problem solving element of co-design (‘seeing thingsdifferently’, prototyping and taking risks) can be summed up ascreativity, and designers164are able to co-design solutions to socialchallenges because of the connections they make with projectstakeholders, and the creativity they are able to inspire in them. Designers connect with people's inherent creativity, and are able toharness that to co-design innovations.
Collaboration is not a new approach to address social challenges, but it being delivered by designers is. Zoe and myself studied a very conceptual design course, that resulted in making products, but more than this it gave us the skills to solve problems in creative ways. OUTCOME IS IRRELEVENT

We design tools that enable collaboration and gather insight
Why it worked…… Designed around a tv culture of diary rooms. On camera, so want to
Apart from the name, everything else was traslated into 8 languages. Provided a break
Peer – to peer research is not new, but we have designed supporting tools to help the process

Transferring behavioural economics into real life solutions
Difficult for those in the public sector – as there is close monitoring If you have volunteers – empower them! Talked about collaboration broadly, but obviously there are different spectrums. We are interested in finding out what type of collaboration works best with different topic areas, nature of projects etc
