FAQS

What type of projects do you do?

We are not a consultancy! We are a design and change agency. We take commissions to design initiatives and interventions that activate significant change. We will work with organizations who share our vision to create a sustainable and regenerative future, and we use the Disrupt Design Method across all of our work.

What kind of projects do you take on?

Learning system design, future trend reports on sustainability, handbooks, toolkits, games, communication campaigns, change-based research, educational initiatives, circular product design that will have positive impact, digital communication, creative change strategies and more.

In what countries do you run your workshops and projects?

We have team members around the world and can run workshops and programs pretty much anywhere we can get to. Design projects are location independent. Most of our offerings are available as digital engagements and hope to resume face to face workshops when possible.

How long does it take to design and deliver a project? 

Once we have the brief all locked in, our turnaround usually quick, and the time factors are related to the depth of research required, calendar availability, and timely feedback. 

Do you run workshops for schools or universities? 

Yes! If your school or university is interested in creating change, get in touch! We have arranged many education workshops and online learning packages for schools and universities around the world, and welcome any opportunity to include other languages when possible.  

How long are the workshops?

Our face to face workshops can vary in length from 1-3 days in general, with more/longer variations depending on the project and client needs. Digital workshops typically run in 1.5hr sessions over 3 days or month long periods.

How much is a workshop or project?

They vary in cost depending on length, travel and accommodation if necessary, and if other projects, such as a toolkit, report, or communications intervention are being developed in association. In general, our workshops fit into most corporate budgets. We also request our clients allow for a minimum of 20% open source content when possible in order to advance equitable access to this type of training and work.

Are all of your workshops the same?

All of our workshops and projects are custom designed to your specific context, using our unique Disruptive Design Method. They are all built to advance sustainability principles and movement toward the Circular Economy, as well as positioned to address the needs and goals of the commissioning organization. We don’t do off-the-shelf work, and all our projects require an immersive research period to ensure what we design is both ethical, appropriate and has action-based change outcomes.

Do you teach Design Thinking?

While there are some Design Thinking principles and concepts embedded in the Disruptive Design Method, we do not teach Design Thinking.

Do you offer Innovation and Creativity workshops?

Creativity is one of our core pillars, along with Systems and Sustainability. We use and teach these principles within all that we do, inextricably interconnected to each other. We include all three pillars in any workshop or project, and we approach complex problems from a disruptive perspective (designing new systems and solutions) rather than an innovative position (improving current systems and solutions).
