Training.
Few development organisations actively use interactive design methods like Design Thinking.
If your team aren't using design tools, it’s usually because they haven’t been taught.
Powerful, practical design tools are teachable.
When your team masters methods like User Personas, Design Thinking and prototyping, it will transform the way you work: making programmes more user-centered, outcome-focused and effective.
BY DESIGN. Training
Equip your team with practical methods to diagnose core programme challenges from stakeholders' perspectives - and generative new and more effective intervention strategies.
Custom training is tailored to your programme's real challenges, so your team develops design skills while working on problems that matter. Immediate feedback and support help refine your programme strategy in real time.
We teach the core methods used by BY DESIGN. including:
Design Thinking:
Frame problems clearly and generate creative, context-sensitive solutions
Micro Theory of Change
Connect programme interventions to realistic, behaviourally grounded outcomes
Cultural Theory-informed facilitation
Uncover hidden drivers and value systems behind programme dynamics, and design for diverse perspectives.
Who this is for
Organisations looking to build in-house capability
for user-centered programme design and embed
BY DESIGN. methods into everyday practice.
It works particularly well where your organisational culture encourages curiosity, continual learning and
a focus on meaningful impact.
When it's especially useful
You have a talented, experienced team with deep programme and contextual knowledge - and you want to unlock even more of that potential with design methods that go beyond development “business as usual.”
