Systems and Program Design

I4DI development experts specialize in helping you utilize design thinking frameworks, methods, and tools that are tailored to support your objectives in all types of value creation processes. In today’s rapidly changing, interconnected world, complexity grows with the pace of change. Designing solutions for today that will be adaptable over time and relevant tomorrow require design thinking and structured processes that are user-centric, technology-informed, and complexity-aware. Putting people at the center of our design process is key to developing locally-owned solutions to the most pressing challenges of our time. Inclusivity, to us, means that the people for whom a solution is being designed or implemented must be at the decision-making table and involved throughout the design process. Doing so increases the utility of your innovation and people’s ownership and commitment to change. Technology-infomed means we strategically look for ways to leverage advanced technologies, not necessarily as an end-solution, but as a way to enhance or optimize an existing program input or to support collaborative co-creation processes. And we are complexity-aware, because we know all too well that many projects fail when they do not adopt systems thinking to help unpack the constantly evolving nature of a development context. In this way, I4DI helps you to unlock the keys to the scalability and sustainability of results.
