Here is a taste of what Tracey and Dan cover in the conversation

  • Beyond the buzzword: what does “Co-design” even mean and why is it important?
  • The difference between Co-design and Human-centered design
  • Where does Co-design fit in solving a problem? Is Co-design a realistic idea in all problem solving?  
  • What is the difference between a wicked problem and a standard problem?
  • The complimentary tools that must be used alongside Co-design in this sector
  • The benefits of using Co-design for your organisation and the people you support
  • An insight into the Impacto Consulting Co-design process: The 5 stages on how to Co-design, as well as the methods and practices that are commonly used in each phase
  • Sharing of a case study from a real Co-design project to bring the methodology to life and show how it can be applied
