20 minutes

1. What might you need to consider in terms of organisational buy-in?

2. Who might you need to engage in your organisation?

3. What other organisations might you need to consult?

4. What might you need to consider when inviting consumers to be part of your co design working group?

5. How might you engage community members to join the co design working group?

Activity two: Engage

Engage: Organisational considerations

Have permission to co design the issue

Be prepared to share the power

You are invited to work with us to make sure we are benefiting older people now and in the future.

We are forming a working group of community members and workers to come up with ideas to

better connect people socially. We can try some of the ideas out and decide if they are working or

not.

By being part of the working group, we want you to:

Attending regular meetings starting in May (we think about 6 );

Come up with ideas about how we can support people to feel socially connected; and,

Share your experiences about what you know helps keep people connected

Our commitment to you:

You can be honest with the group and share your ideas, feedback and opinions without

judgement or consequence;

You are equal to others in the group, including staff and have an equal say;

You are included in the decision making process from beginning to end;

Your contribution to the group is valued and rewarded.

We would love you to be involved with this project. It is a new concept for all of us so we will be

supporting each other and learning together.

If you would like further information or you are interested in participating, please contact:

enable people to participate

Share the knowledge

Work with people from the beginning

Pay or compensate people

Engage: Consumer considerations

20 minutes

1. What do you need to consider in the planning phase?

2. What is the role of community members on the co design working group?

3. How might you gather information to inform the working group about the issue?

4. What rules or agreements need to be brokered to allow the group to operate in a safe space

5. Once you have gathered a range of ideas to improve the issue, how can the working group decide which ones will be trialed?

Activity three: Plan

Plan: Getting started

• Start by developing up the purpose of and how

the group will function

• Provide background to all about the issue to be

addressed

• Assign roles – co design leader, meeting chair,

timer, minute taker

• Build trust quickly

• Break down power dynamics

Equalising power dynamics

• What can you do to minimise your position of power?

• What can you do to maximise consumer participant’s power?

Trust and power tips

graymatterconsulting.com.au

o Be clear and transparent about what’s on the table and what’s not

o Communicate effectively and consistently – in a way that works for

everyone, not just the organisation/staff

o Think carefully about name badges, uniforms and professional attire

o Use power positively e.g. referent power

o Be mindful consumers may ‘reject’ your power sharing initially

o Avoid service provider speak and jargon e.g. co-design!

2. Plan: Project scope

• Collectively understand:

– What is the real problem?

– Whose problem is it?

• Agree on the scope of what’s being co designed

• Decide on how information is going to be gathered

to inform the co design process

• Agree on the roles each person is going to play in

gathering information

3. Explore: Gathering information

Working group members can lead you to people with lived experience

People with lived experience can inform the working group

3. Explore

• Gather information from people with lived

experience, literature, experts, etc

• Collate information

• Use information gathered to list potential

implementation ideas

Co design experience

What are you previous experiences of co design?

– What worked?

– What didn’t?

The co-design process part two: Implementation

graymatterconsulting.com.au

Brainstorm ideas and test

assumptions

Prototyping, testing and piloting

Implement/deliver Evaluate

3. Explore 4. Develop 5. Decide

6. Change

3. Explore: Working group decision

• Decide on the criteria to prioritise

ideas to trial

• Explore each idea against the

criteria

• Select ideas to trial

• Develop evaluation model

Considerations

What’s important to you may not be

to consumers

People want an outcome and to see an impact

Low hanging fruit –outcomes prove it’s

worthwhile

Co-design your project idea, don’t decide before you involve consumers

4. Develop: Trialing

• Plan how to trial selected ideas

• Engage with organisations,

people, community groups, etc

that may complement your

trials

• Implement trials

5. Decide: Evaluate and plan

• Evaluate trials

• Present information to working

group

• Decide best strategies to

proceed with/ trial

• Plan implementation

6. Change

• Implement learnings and

successful strategies from the

trials

• Seek funding, if needed, to

sustain program
