We Believe

The biggest opportunities to transform healthcare lie not within strategies or processes, but mindsets.

​

People come to us with complicated problems that have no clear solution and sit squarely in the grey zone of right and wrong.

We Facilitate

The Design Lab uses design thinking as a core foundation. We tap into abilities and viewpoints that are often overlooked by more conventional problem-solving practices. 

​

We recognize patterns to help groups come up with user-focused ideas.

We Educate

We use design thinking to kick start meaningful discussions, breathe life into structure, and develop solutions using human-centred design. 

​

We offer courses that harness design thinking into tools like sprints, scrums and liberating structures.
