co-design for leaders

🗓️ starts 11 March 2025 (learn more and register)

While co-design is increasing in popularity, many leaders aren’t clear about how to support co-design to succeed. Staff and communities feel the confusion. Co-design isn’t right for all projects.

📋 course description

This course will develop your understanding of co-design and teach you:

  • about different ways, roles and responsibilities, including yours as a sponsor or funder

  • how to set-up and support people leading and participating in co-design

  • about making wise decisions about where co-design is best, scoping

  • about the need for culturally and community-specific ways

  • about checking-in and encouraging a broader culture of curiosity and co-design

This course is for leaders. We won’t turn you into a co-design practitioner.
