In this phase, which may take up to a year, we develop and refine the idea, and plan how it can be tested.
We organize a series of co-design workshops with the stakeholder partners, including researchers and people with experience in the relevant areas.
By bringing them together in a collaborative setting, we can foster meaningful discussions and delve into the problem. The co-design workshop is a platform of open dialogue, enabling participants to share their diverse perspectives and insights. Through interactive sessions and brainstorming activities, we aim to harness the collective expertise and creativity of the attendees to generate innovative ideas and solutions, and design a small scale experiment that can deliver a clear answer.
The outcome of this phase is a solution (a hypothesis in scientific terms) that
- improves access, quality of assistance, and social inclusion
- is economically sustainable
- integrates different welfare sectors
The experiment must be feasible because
- there are the right partners
- responds to smart criteria and long-term, short-term, and project KPIs
- has a clear timeline and clear milestones
- has a budget and the necessary funding
