Innovation & co-Design Workshops
The van Diemen Project brings our experience in running workshops across the world to help leverage the creativity and knowledge of your workplace and community, to drive ahead with new solutions and opportunities through codesign, empowering networks and regions to be part of the innovation that is needed to drive better outcomes.
What’s Involved in our Innovation & Co-Design Workshops?
At The van Diemen Project, we bring a deep understanding of design thinking and human-centred design to our innovation workshops. These workshops are designed to help organisations and communities generate fresh ideas, solve complex challenges, and develop innovative strategies. Drawing from our extensive experience at international events and forums, we guide participants through a co-design process that puts people at the heart of every solution.
Our workshops are interactive and collaborative, providing a space where participants can think creatively, explore different perspectives, and engage in meaningful dialogue. The process begins with a thorough exploration of your organisation’s or community’s current challenges and objectives. We then guide you through design thinking frameworks that help you break down problems, identify opportunities, and generate innovative solutions.
Human-centred design principles guide every step of the workshop. This means we focus on understanding the needs, experiences, and motivations of the people you serve. By involving staff, stakeholders, and community members in the process, we ensure that the strategies and solutions developed are not only innovative but also deeply aligned with the needs and desires of the people they are meant to impact.
Whether your goal is to reimagine internal processes, improve community engagement, or create entirely new programs, our innovation workshops provide a structured yet flexible approach to drive creative thinking and collaboration.
