Start with the second one

There are two frameworks inside. The pull is to begin with the first — how I design — because that one feels like the work. Begin with the second instead. How I last is the one most of us skip, and it is the one that decides whether we are still doing this in three years.

Every value you write carries a cost column. If you fill in a value and the column stays empty, it is not a value yet — it is a description of how you would like to be seen. Keep writing until something costs you.

One click in your inbox

There's a short email waiting that asks you to confirm your address. It takes a second, and it is the only thing standing between you and Designing Otherwise — our fortnightly letter on programme design, power and money.

If nothing has arrived in a few minutes, check your spam folder, and add [email protected] to your contacts so the next one lands properly.

Where this came from

These two frameworks close the Designing Otherwise Accelerator, where practitioners write them alone and then read one aloud to the room. Working it by yourself is a real version of the exercise. Being witnessed doing it is a different one. Parity pricing and bursaries are part of how the programme is built.
