For projects that are complex and potentially controversial co-design offers a better way of working with communities to implement your project.
The main benefits of Co-design are:
-
Relationships and trust are built throughout the process
-
Local and diverse knowledge is valued
-
Early opponents often become advocates of the process and outcomes.
-
Substantial project savings as the project is more likely to be delivered on time and within budget (by avoiding ongoing protests, legal costs, and political interventions)
-
A more enjoyable, satisfying process for all concerned (even despite some inevitable challenges as people learn to work together)
