We understand that the problems facing businesses, governments and communities today have never been more complex.
They are often difficult to define, interconnected with other problems, and changing as fast as the world around us. And increasingly, they are becoming too challenging for a single person or group to resolve alone.
It is possible to compress weeks, months, even years of work on these kinds of challenges into just hours or days through bringing together the right people to share and process the right information in the right ways. When thoughtfully planned and facilitated, co-design can be an incredibly powerful tool to build alignment and ownership across diverse groups of stakeholders, accelerate work, and catalyse innovation. Beyond just a facilitation method, it is a philosophy, mindset, and way of working.
At atticusnow, our tested co-design approach draws from a range of problem-solving methodologies, as well as our team’s own extensive knowledge and experience across a wide range of sectors, frameworks and communities. We have our own in-house capability as well as a national network of expert contractors that we can scale to deliver codesign events across the country. We bring this to bear to create powerful and memorable experiences that spark real breakthroughs for our clients and their stakeholders.
Our codesign services include community forums, discovery workshops, codesign workshops, and board or executive strategy workshops. We have delivered these both in-person and virtually, using a suite of digital platforms.
