Get Your Team Ready to Design
Design and design skills are at the heart of responding to the unprecedented changes of the fourth industrial revolution. Applied in an interdisciplinary team design gives us the tools to respond to complex challenges, and support the growth, innovation and jobs that will help organisations succeed.
We think that the best way to do this is to blend just enough design into everyone’s work. By weaving practices from across design disciplines into the flow of everyday work, teams have the chance to become human-centred, unlock their potential to solve complex problems collaboratively and ultimately make a greater impact.
Blending Design Into Active Workstreams
We join up with your team and identify your skills gaps, in active project work, to identify the right mix of skills based training and action learning to blend design into every day work.
Skills Based Design Training
We work with ambitious leaders who want to develop a design capability in their team by enhancing their design research, facilitation, collaboration, creativity, storytelling or envisioning skills.

How We Make
Training Stick
For the most part traditional classroom based learning doesn’t lead to better organisational performance because when people go back to work they revert to their old ways of doing things.
That’s why BetterWork has established a practice to bridge the gap between knowing a way of working and applying it back into the flow of work.
