Know How
We will be using an updated version of our bespoke Know How process and toolkit of resources to support you in developing your ideas.
Know How is a six-step structured process, bringing together methods from design and digital thinking, to help organisations and individuals meet their digital ambitions.
This initial surgery will focus on the first two steps of the Know How process: Think and Develop.
Think
Think clarifies your focus and aligns your mission, helping you develop a brief that frames opportunities to bring design and digital thinking into your art practice and business.
Develop
Develop is about testing your ideas and direction with potential audiences, peers, stakeholders and future customers to generate insights that inform what you will make.
