Testimonials
"We have a new approach, a team with defined roles, a tool to track the work, a plan for the first planning session next week and initial ideas loaded in as the project backlog.
We have commitment.
We have optimism. We are excited to start working in this new way. We are extremely appreciative."
“As a result of working with the Design Lab, more hospice societies came to the table, became involved, and felt a sense of empowerment.
In my 26 years of being a physician, I’ve never seen a group like this come in and shake things up.”

"The Design Lab brought compassion, patient centredness, and effective collaboration all to one place. They helped us get all the stakeholders in a room for engaged planning.
We ended up with some concrete pitches to address an important problem that is not easy to solve... providing better health services to mothers dealing with addictions."
