Create

Once the issue has been thoroughly explored and reframed, it is time to start creating a series of different actions and ideas that can connect with other interventions.

Some can be small practical steps and others can be big, audacious ideas that might never happen but will help people reimagine what might be possible. However tempting it may be to launch into design as a project team, it is important to co-design; inviting people with lived experience or alternative perspectives into the process.

This section of the toolkit will help you to:

Create a portfolio of ideas, generated at different layers of the system: specific products, services and places; policies, regulations or standards; narratives or cultural mindsets (Portfolio of Ideas, tool 8 ).

Consider the unintended consequences of your ideas (Unintended Consequences, tool 9 ).
