Since releasing the Authentic Co-design Course in June 2020, people are doing the course and we've had a few questions asked about the what, when, why and how of using co-design to deliver complex projects.
In this series, we will be answering these common questions for course graduates and members of the Authentic Co-design community of practice.
For the first video, we decided to share it more broadly as we often get asked this question by people... watch the Q&A video from today to answer the question if co-design is suited to all projects.
Background
@Max Hardy, @Susan Carter and myself developed the Authentic Co-design tools and training because we have continuously experienced the benefits of organisations working with their stakeholders to deliver better projects and solutions.
We know all organisations dealing with a range of stakeholders on complex issues and projects will benefit from a co-design approach. The benefits of working with community and stakeholders in this way are vast, deep and long lasting. At its core an Authentic Co-design process delivers:
Better relationships and ultimately, trust.
A deeper understanding of what managing this issue, site or project means
Better, long lasting solutions.
But, is a co-design process suited to all projects?
We've started to record our answers to your frequently asked questions.
And this is a question that we've received a few times so we recorded our answer for you (spoiler alert! Short answer is 'No, co-design is best for your most complex projects that need lasting solutions and relationships to succeed')
Watch the video for our slightly longer (2 minute view) on the question.
