The Art of Co-Design

In recent years, co-design has become something of a buzzword. While the term has gained in popularity, its true meaning and practical implementations are not widely understood. Existing resources, such as co-design toolkits, are freely available online but tend to be highly specialised and template-driven, limiting their usefulness for diverse contexts. 

The team behind “The Art of Co-Design” conducted a thorough review of existing co-design toolkits and created a comprehensive resource that provides a holistic understanding of co-design, its methods, and applications.  

This book examines the core steps in developing and delivering projects, from creatively designing the co-design itself to understanding how it can work best for different stakeholder groups to analyzing results correctly and producing effective prototypes. Consider this book the ultimate guide on 'how to' co-design. 

• Gain the confidence to effectively engage in co-design.
• Learn how to customize and apply co-design to any context.
• Allow for more authentic and tailored approaches.
