Human connection. The most powerful tool you have.
We've spent the last six years leading the field of relational design. Our work and research has shown that when people come together in high connection with others they tend to:
Want to repeat the experience, whatever it is
Do the best work they’re capable of
Experience better mental and physical health
Find solutions to intractable problems
Flex creatively as situations change from their expectations
Support others to develop and grow
Resolve potential conflicts effectively and creatively
Here is the paper that underlines it all
Designing for connection
Commissioned by Catalyst and CAST, we designed a comprehensive suite of tools to design for greater human connection in all types of services, cultures and environments. We call it The Human Connection Framework.

It was awarded the Judges' Pick at the 2021 London Design Biennale and we've now delivered work based on it for clients like Google, Stanford Social Innovation Review, YMCA, Barnardo’s and Grosvenor International.
We're confident there's value for you in this Framework but if you're seeking big change, your organisation will most likely require a Framework that is bespoke to your needs. We start by understanding those needs precisely and build a framework and all the associated methods and tools you'll need to create the right change for you.
