How we work

💡 1. Policy Design & Research

Co-designing effective public programs.

We help partners translate policy ideas into services that truly meet people’s needs. By blending design research, systems mapping, and rapid prototyping, we uncover barriers, test new approaches, and deliver scalable solutions.

What we do:

• Stakeholder & user research (interviews, fieldwork, service blueprints)
• Prototype design and testing (digital + physical)
• Policy options and implementation roadmaps

Deliverables:
Insight reports · Tested prototypes · Pilot plans · Implementation toolkits

Typical engagement:
8–16 weeks · Co-design sprints with partner teams

🌍 2. Social Innovation Strategy

Building models for inclusion & access.

We partner with governments, multilaterals, and NGOs to design innovation roadmaps that deliver equitable outcomes. Our work helps teams embed experimentation, partnerships, and data-driven learning into everyday operations.

What we do:

• Innovation strategies and governance frameworks
• Behavioral “nudge” design for improved uptake
• Partnership and scale-up strategies

Deliverables:
Strategy memo · Operating model · M&E frameworks · Scale playbooks

Typical engagement:
6–12 weeks · Executive workshops and prototype sessions

📊 3. Data, Evaluation & Learning

Measuring what matters.

We build learning systems that connect activities to outcomes. Through tailored monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks, dashboards, and data storytelling, we help partners make informed decisions and demonstrate impact.

What we do:

• Theory of Change & indicator development
• Baselines, outcome evaluations, and surveys
• Dashboards and data visualization
• Learning reviews and course correction

Deliverables:
Theory of Change diagram · Indicator library · Evaluation reports · Impact dashboards

Typical engagement:
4–10 weeks · Parallel support for ongoing programs

🎓 4. Training & Capacity Building

Developing the next generation of policy innovators.

We equip public servants, civil society leaders, and students with the skills to design, test, and scale innovative programs. Our training programs are immersive, hands-on, and tailored to real policy challenges.

What we do:

• Design-for-policy bootcamps and workshops
• Innovation management for leaders
• Applied research and prototyping labs
• Fellowship and mentorship programs

Deliverables:
Curriculum kits · Capstone prototypes · Post-training support plans

Typical engagement:
1–8 weeks · On-site or hybrid · Up to 25 participants per cohort

🤝 How We Work

Our projects move through a four-step process:

1. Discover — Understand user needs and system barriers.
2. Co-Design — Collaborate to ideate and prototype solutions.
3. Pilot — Test interventions in real contexts.
4. Scale & Learn — Evaluate, adapt, and institutionalize what works.

🌐 Who We Partner With

We collaborate with:

• Government agencies and city councils
• Multilateral and development organizations (IDB Lab, UNDP, GGI)
• NGOs and community-based organizations
• Academic and research institutions
• Private sector partners focused on social innovation

Our partnerships are rooted in co-creation—combining institutional expertise with community insight.
