What are the advantages of the physical components you have designed for us?
Jake: Hands on learning that takes us back to our childhood β learning through play. Representing ideas in a physical form on the table, with colours and shapes means that participants are free to focus more on strategy
Key to our success has been the quality of the design capability we have been able to draw on. We recently interviewed Jake Howe, a designer and maker, who has been instrumental in the development of our Transport Planner and Decarb-a-nation workshops www.jakehowe.co.uk
