Jul 9, Pivot Design Group: Co-Design for Health: From Inclusion to Equity, by Joseph Donia, Pam Sethi, and Ian Chalmers
“We live in a world that is more connected than ever. As the interdependent nature of today’s problems become recognized, public and private sector organizations are increasingly turning to co-design for structured collaboration. Intergovernmental units like Denmark’s MindLab and the UK’s Policy Lab have been set up to involve stakeholders in decision-making, from early problem-definition, through to prototyping, testing, and measurement. Still, for many co-design remains a puzzle. What exactly is co-design, what does ‘involvement’ really entail, and which projects are best-suited to co-design?”.

Jul 10, IDEO: To Make Sense of Messy Research, Get Visual, by Nadia Surtees
“We’ve brought back thousands of photos and videos and hundreds of Post-its. As we stare at the sea of notes, I feel stuck and a little panicked. Are there answers in this data soup? This messy moment in the design process is called ‘synthesis’, when designers start to distill all our research into tangible possibilities. Synthesis can feel ambiguous, stiff, and chaotic all at once; the secret is to keep moving forward any way you can”. Read more at: https://www.ideo.com/blog/to-make-sense-of-messy-research-get-visual
Jul 12, The Dirt: Co-Designing with Kids, by Jared Green
“Three case studies from an upcoming book on co-designing with children were presented at the Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA) in Oklahoma City. An environmental designer, landscape architect, and landscape educator explained how kids — if properly motivated and trained — can lead planning and design processes. Working within a framework and with a motivated youth coordinator, kids of all ages can identify and solve design challenges”.

Jul 18, Trilateral Research: Collaborative innovation: the advantages of co-design in creating sustainable technological solutions, by Katrina Petersen
“How can new ideas find their way into and transform the society we live in? This is often the starting question for innovation. Traditionally, the answer would be based on a problem-solving approach: users define a problem and technology designers develop a solution. However, this methodology has not always proven to lead to successful uptake of the solutions, partly because developers and users have very different perspectives”.
