Working backwards

We call our problem solving approach ‘Working Backwards’ and we organise our work in interdisciplinary, non-hierarchical teams. Indeed, we work backwards as a team, first to work with people to identify what people want and can do before co-designing and prototyping new kinds of solutions and ways of spreading those solutions (e.g. principles, platforms, organisations, and programs). Each phase of our approach starts with a question. To answer the question we draw on skills and tools from design, social science, business and policy development.
