Forward Thinking Design have observed the dilution of design thinking processes as the traditional design fields lower fees by dropping research and creative problem solving in favour of providing simple aesthetic outcomes. To counter this, we have built a robust, facilitated service that truly re-connects research, strategy, creativity and commerciality, whilst bringing this into partnership with the client to empower them in the process of working with us. We teach what we know as we guide your learning and work through your challenges together.

FTD consider collaborative problem solving, consultation and co-design to be critical elements in creating brand experience and empowering the end users of spaces. We are comfortable in leading and facilitating user engagement, leadership meetings, presentation and reporting. We are champions of diversity and inclusion and it is our aim to create best practice outcomes.

Our problem solving and co-design facilitation services cover:

• Market, team, community and stakeholder consultation and co-design to determine vision, direction, positioning, culture, authenticity and opportunities for improvement
• Market, team, community and stakeholder consultation and co-design to create and shape strategy and action
• Consultation to improve buy-in and support for new initiatives and expansion
