We believe in the power of collective wisdom to create sustainable culture change. Prioritising lived experiences over imposed solutions, we foster environments of deep listening to inform meaningful cultural developments. We strive for collective ownership and work to strengthen existing cultures while promoting intercultural understanding and shared values where there are perceived differences.
ConnectOur approach to innovation harnesses new and novel ideas to create lasting, exponential impact. We focus on incremental, adjacent, and disruptive innovation; where incremental innovation occurs organically in healthy cultures, adjacent innovation is incubated in parallel to business as usual and disruptive innovation changes the current paradigm instantly. To address society's most complex challenges we support ambitious leaders with the courage to innovate.
ConnectOur co-design approach engages all relevant stakeholders in the design process to ensure outcomes meet the needs of the collective. With the mantra "nothing about us without us", solutions are designed for, with, and by those most impacted by a problem. While a co-design approach requires skill and patience to navigate, we believe that by redistributing power and embracing diversity, solutions become more meaningful and sustainable in the long term.
ConnectDesign thinking is a simple framework available to anyone wanting to move from a current state to an imagined ideal future. We have worked with thousands of people from across the world to build their capacity to innovate with the principles, process, and tools of design thinking. Our simple and powerful approach involves the phases Inquire, Ideate, Implement, and Reflect, and key mindsets of empathy, optimism, and experimentation.
White Light Education delivers high quality training in the application of design thinking for social good. Our PhD students have found the workshops engaging and useful as they seek to use their expertise to tackle difficult and important issues.
