BACKGROUND 

Frameworks are often the most visible manifestation of a team’s understanding and are assumed by client's and audiences to embody a disproportionate amount of project value. Optimal frameworks reframe and refocus the audiences attention as part of a larger narrative. Sub-optimal frameworks distract the team and audience and undermine confidence in other deliverables.

The time pressures of fast-paced corporate projects often lead to framework generation being a last-minute activity, resulting in sub-optimal, immature, and inappropriate frameworks. There is a better way. 

OVERVIEW

Framework Darwinism is the Studio D approach to generating conceptual and evidence-based frameworks to inform and inspire organisations. We’ve refined this process over dozens of client projects to ensure that it works in online/offline environments, with in-person and remote teams. 

The approach covers:

• The role of frameworks and how their purpose changes over the course of a single project
• Identifying team knowledge and skill gaps for optimal framework generation
• Surfacing frameworks, tracking their evolution over time
• Identifying the optimal framework format for the subject matter and audience
• Bias identification and mitigation
• Stress-test evidence supportive frameworks
• Build a framework portfolio to drive organisational narratives

BENEFITS

Primary benefits include:

• Can be applied to any primary (quant-, qual-) or secondary research process where data and information collection is ongoing
• Generates mature, conceptual and evidence-supported frameworks to inform and inspire how organisations think and what they act
• Builds team and client buy-in

ONLINE MASTERCLASS FORMAT 

The masterclass will be delivered via Zoom video conferencing with hands-on break out activities—as well as allocated time for conversations drawing on collective wisdom of the participants.
