Centre for Co-Design

A lovely view over a sun-soaked Finsbury Square makes a perfect backdrop to exciting and enthusiastic conversations from many. #MKEConference @bam_ac_uk

Today members of our Centre are at @bam_ac_uk’s #MKEConference. Some fascinating conversations emerging from the marketplace set up of the conference

We encourage you to stay with your fears, allow yourself to feel them, and take time to consider the possibility that working with questions of purpose could actually be liberating and helpful to your practice and the systems you engage with.

Co-design invites practitioners from many contexts, whether in business, education, or healthcare, to think about complexity and change in different ways. It offers ideas with transformative potential for work and life.

Co-design emerges as a way to make sense, make meaning and make things happen in the face of complexity. It encompasses a way of thinking, acting, - and crucially - a way of relating, in the world around us.

Making sense of the complexity in our lives has become one of the major challenges of the 21st century. We hope to addresses the challenge through a ‘co-design’ approach to collective thinking and acting.

The Co-Design community is fluid and constantly in-process. We work with systems such as universities, schools, hospitals, and professional bodies in creating design processes which work within local contexts.

#WhatIf?: We look to a world where everyone is empowered to participate in designing the systems and places which shape their lives. This is a vision of active thinking and doing. This involves creating spaces for inquiry, exploration, conversation, collaboration, and community.

There's still time to submit a 500word proposal for a role facilitating exciting conversation at the British Academy of Management conference we are working on supporting. For more information and to submit: bam.ac.uk/civicrm/event/…

On our website, a timeline shows the development of Co-Design across approximately the past 70 years. Have you seen it yet? We'd love to hear your thoughts, as we recognise the fludity of the evolvment of Co-Design and the potential for further ideas. #CoDesign

Is Co-Design, "the living life of the people, flowing directly through our institutions"? (Mary P. Follett) #CoDesign #Quote en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Park…

"Transforming our Teaching Practice together" - at the British Academy of Management Conference, we hope you can learn from peers and share your teaching practices in an interactive and supportive ‘market-place’ style conference bam.ac.uk/civicrm/event/…

#What?: Co-Design is a process of crystallising the collective imagination. The design approach is people-centred, drawing on many fields, including organization theory, computer science, art and design (including interaction, service, UX), philosophy and social science.

Teaching Fellows, Lecturers, Professors, Postgraduate Researchers, Students and those passionate about excellent teaching in Business and Management Schools are welcome at the BAM "Transforming our Teaching Practice Together" conference: bam.ac.uk/civicrm/event/…

#Why?: We believe the world is better when we make things happen together. Meaning and purpose emerges from the process of making connections to others. We live in a world where collective action and meaning is more important than ever.

We aim to build a vibrant community of teachers who learn together to transform our practice and impact at the British Academy of Management MKE Conference on the 20th of June 2018. For more information: bam.ac.uk/civicrm/event/…
