Funding and co-design
Since becoming a charity we've been exploring different ways that we can work with you, our customers and community. One new approach to innovation is the pilot co-design programme, which we are running in partnership with some of our key stakeholder associations.
Co-design
The co-design approach runs from initial generation of ideas, through idea selection, and into the development of products, services and other outputs.
Together we're closely scrutinising all projects and deciding whether to change their focus, speed them up or stop them completely. This means any project outputs are more refined and tested and, most importantly, better meet the requirements of the people who will use them - the users and consumers in universities and colleges.
The pilot will complete by December 2013 and, if successful, will be widened to include more organisations.
For more details contact Andy McGregor, or read our blog posts on the programme.
