Hello!

Welcome to this special compendium of news, articles and videos describing the work of Stakeholder Design.

I’m Sean McDougall, and I founded Stakeholder Design in 2006 to help commercial organisations, the public sector and local communities address disadvantage at every stage of life. It’s a co-design approach that I call ‘whole of life innovation’ and it’s born of a lifetime of experience in politics, education, charities and design.

As you’ll see from the resource pack, it’s a remarkably effective approach that can transform both operational effectiveness and customer experience while reducing costs for the provider.

It’s also the very best way to meet the government’s Big Society objective to “put power in the hands of communities and equip Britain for long term success.” It’s given me a very wide client base, including global technology firms, governments, local authorities, charities, think tanks and start-ups. I work with them in whatever way makes most sense for them - this includes:

  • Training organisations to become more innovative
  • Working within organisations to design, build and test future service offerings
  • Helping organisations become more responsive to stakeholders.
  • Improving operational efficiency as a non-executive director
  • Taking control of discrete work packages

What they say:
Professor Stephen Heppell:
I'm so glad you're going to hear Sean speak today. Never mind the A Team - he's the A+ Team

Sarah Payton, Futurelab:

It "was really an incredible educational experience. It taught me that giving young people a significant role in decision-making processes is really important and not as difficult as some people might think.”
