Workshop Overview: Designing a solution, whether that be a product, service, system or other, is never just about the designed outcome itself.

It's about identifying its place and influence in the broader systems of people, culture, nature, technology, policy, and power that it exists within.

When we seek to solve problems in siloes we often find we've created solutions that's rippled into an issue elsewhere.

In this practical, hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to apply Systems Thinking and Co-Design techniques to build more strategic, impactful, and life-centred products and services.

We'll move beyond theory into practice you'll work in groups on a real-world problem space, use system mapping tools to reveal hidden connections and ripple effects, and experiment with co-design approaches to reframe and rethink potential interventions.

Whether you're working in banking, tech, social impact, government or consulting, this workshop will give you practical tools you can take back to your teams and projects immediately.
