Co-design /
Co-production
Design guided by the living experience.
Delivering fit for purpose 'social solutions' better succeeds when people, communities and organisations engage the 'living experience' of people to guide the co-design process.

Agile and iterative
Establishing processes for continuous improvement.
We frequently cannot start with all the answers in advance, so we leverage value of what is learned as we more forward, to revisit design and refine, and establish a process of continuous improvement.
Being agile in response to change and iterative in delivery of solutions ensures risk to delivery of social return on investments is minimised, and delivery of positive outcomes and benefits can be frequent, and many.
Empowerment
A new approach to get the solutions we need.
In the structures we create, success in our social, economic, ecological and consequently wellbeing development efforts increases when we enable autonomy and invest in learning, and inclusivity becomes achieved by decisions becoming made when there are no remaining "paramount objections", that is, when there is informed consent from all involved (every-one has a say).
