For example, with the Platform to superstructure, we have a series of standard connection brackets, which link the beams and columns.

Developing a solution through iteration.We repeat this sequence of steps until everyone involved is satisfied that all relevant expertise has been brought to bear on the solution and that the solution fully addresses all aspects of the problem.

This iterative process might appear familiar, but what makes the Design to Value method different is that the focus is not simply on developing a detailed description of a solution to allow someone to build it.It is to represent the evolving design in a way that is relevant to the stakeholders so they can understand the choices made and judge whether the design meets their needs.This is a unique advantage of our Chip Thinking®️ process.. Rather than showing increasingly detailed plans and elevations, we represent the solution in terms of what it does to solve the client’s problem.

For a prison that needs to be more rehabilitative, this means: showing what is visible from where; how activities are distributed across the buildings and the site; how the buildings are zoned and controlled to allow free movement while controlling who goes where.For a pharmaceutical plant that needs to satisfy uncertain demand in an emerging market, this could entail seeing the capacity of the production equipment, its utilisation, the labour required to operate it, and the flexibility of the equipment to produce either different or more products..

In each case the representation is driven by what client and stakeholders need to see to satisfy themselves that the proposed solution meets their needs, but also to inform the wider team to decide what the next design iteration needs to look like to create an even better and more detailed solution.. At the end of this process, we have not simply a good design but also a transparent account of how expert knowledge and stakeholder requirements steered the decision-making process.

This not only gives our clients the confidence that they have got the right solution, but ensures they understand why this design is preferable over all others.This is a time of year, but also a time in our history when the things we have been doing and are doing are not giving us what we want and need.

There is little use in just trying much harder at doing the same things.We need to pause, reflect on our purpose, try to see different perspectives, different routes forward; bring light to our present.. We need to try different things, do things in different ways, make new connections.. A few weeks ago I was involved in a conversation about pharmaceuticals.

Many of the drugs we take are synthesised ultimately from oil or use significant amounts of fossil fuels to produce.Agricultural, paper and wastewater industries dispose of significant amounts of carbon-based compounds which could be the feedstocks for these drug substances.
