4. Organisation Community
Co-design is:
Working with the
community as
active participants
in the design
process, to create
shared value
5. Organisation Community
Co-design is:
Increasing our
impact by working
with the
community to
reframe issues and
identify new, more
effective ways to
work and respond
7. Building Organisational Co-design Capability happens across (at least) three levels
โข Commitment to working with
โข Openness to emergent outcomes
Culture,
Philosophy &
Mindset
โข Protocols and structures to support
Infrastructure &
Resources
Skills & Tools
engagement (recruitment, ethics,
relationships)
โข Skills & confidence to work with
community as active design participants
8. Different โWays Inโ โ different organisations start in different places โ itโs not linear

14. Different โWays Inโ

extended period through
assistance by external expertsโ

15. Different โWays Inโ
โsetting up temporary structures
through a project, and then
finding ways to make them

What are your โways inโ ?
17. Reflect on:
What are you already doing?
What might be your โways
inโ (or path of least resistance)
19. Q.1
What capability might the project find easiest to build - culture,
resources, or skills?
In what ways is this different or similar to your own projects or
experience?
Q.2
Q.3
All
What challenges might the team face when bringing co-design into the
organisation? How might these be mitigated?
How can the organisation best prepare the project to build capability?
How can the coaches prepare?
20. Q.1 What challenges might the team face when bringing co-design into the
organisation? How might these be mitigated?
21. Resistance
Four common points of โresistanceโ Iโve often seen encountered on the
journey, and ways to respond.
22. โBut we are
already user
centredโ
Moving from an inside-out
to an outside-in
view is a key
transformational point
on the journey
โMost of us would say we are
user centred and always have
been, but that has often been
from the point of view of what
we think the users want, rather
than seeing the users as active
participants in the planning
process.โ
AUT Library
23. โBut users
donโt know
what they
want/needโ
Co-design tools and techniques
enable meaningful participation
beyond consultation or โaskingโ,
through mutual learning and the
construction of new futures
24. Aspects of the design
process can be
challenging, and hard
to teach.
In particular the
process of analysis and
synthesis
(convergence), and
comfort with
ambiguity and
emergence.
Doing the
โdesignโ bit

25. Doing the
โLearning by doingโฆlike
action researchโ
โdesignโ bit AUT: Library
โLearning how not to start
with knowingโ
UTS: Library
โWhen you have lived and
breathed it a bit you are
happy living with the
ambiguity, and uncertainty
of that.โ
ADHB
Discover Define Develop Deliver
26. Doing the
โdesignโ bit
Find people that
have an affinity to
this way of working
Ensure there is time
in the process for
learning and teaching
as well as doing
Provide some
navigational cues for
people about what
to expect
27. Language
(and
process)
The language of design
can appear
inconsistent and varies
depending on the
practitioner or agency.
It can also introduce
barriers and be
alienating to those
from different
backgrounds and
disciplines.
28. Work towards a
shared language and
understanding of
terms and process
Work with the
culture, and with
existing expertise
Pause, and assess
what will work best
in each environment
Language
(and
process)
29. Q.2 What capability might the project find easiest to build - culture,
resources, or skills?
30. Different โways inโ
The value of different approaches and models for building different
kinds of capability
31. Models &
Sources
Practical application of
co-design to the
organisation
Training
Toolkits
Books
Free Meet Ups
Google
Trying Stuff
โฆ.guided by someone
familiar with the
process
32. Q.3 How can the organisation best prepare the project to build capability?
How can the coaches prepare?
34. Organisational
readiness
โข A willingness to hand over some control
โข A desire for change
โข An ability to resource it
โข A commitment to following through
โข Senior Leadership support/buy in
โข Clarity around what you want to achieve
35. External Coach
Readiness
โข Ability to open up the process
โข A commitment to sharing expertise
38. Youโll need a
champion
But everyone can (and
should) be involved
39. Start
somewhere
Start
anywhere
โEven if you adopt these
approaches only to a
limited extent, they will
expand your knowledge
of your users and their
experiences of your
serviceโ AUT staff Member
40. Think beyond the project
Project structures are not helpful for sustainability of insights, momentum
into implementation and adoption, or for building relationships
Think about the change process needed to adopt new service and systems
Think about building co-design capability as talent development
Think about ongoing involvement and structures for people to stay
involved โ both staff, users and external coaches
Think about ongoing partnerships and networks with other organisations,
universities or departments.
