SKRIPTA IdeaLab is a space where early ideas are opened up, tested and developed with others. A question becomes a conversation. A conversation becomes a shared vision. And a shared vision becomes something that can be designed, prototyped, tested and put into practice.
We believe collaboration can take an individual idea much further than any one person or organisation can take it alone.
People with different expertise, experiences and interests come together to explore a challenge from more than one angle. Facilitation gives the conversation direction without closing it down too early. Co-design brings the people affected by an idea into its development. User insight tests assumptions against lived experience. Prototyping makes an idea tangible enough to question, improve and try again.
The result can be a new programme, a service, a policy intervention, a partnership, a project concept, an experience or an entirely different way of approaching the problem.
SKRIPTA IdeaLab guides the creative process from first idea to concrete concept — through workshops where participants build the solution together, not just sit through a presentation.
Structured idea-generation sessions for a new product, programme or campaign.
Designing together with users and partners — the solution is built with the people it's meant for.
From idea to a tangible concept that can be tested and developed further.
An intensive, time-boxed process that takes a team quickly from problem to concrete solution.
We work with ideas that sit between sectors and disciplines.
Technology meets public policy. Research meets lived experience. Institutions meet communities. Tourism meets sustainability and place. Digital tools meet culture and interpretation. Climate challenges meet local knowledge. Social questions meet design.
Working through collaborative processes, IdeaLab has explored public-sector innovation and GovTech, democratic participation, local development, gender equality, social inclusion, education, sustainable tourism, climate adaptation, digital transformation and new ways of interpreting places and experiences through interactive and immersive technologies.
IdeaLab is used to shape concepts, connect complementary expertise, involve users and stakeholders early, and create space for partners to develop something together rather than simply divide the work between them.
We scale individual ideas into collective ambition, visions and innovation.
Our human-centred and user-experience approaches focus on the people who will use, experience, implement or live with new projects, ideas and their results.
We convene citizens, local communities, civil society, businesses, public servants, individual creators around the design of new public service, climate adaptation, new tourism experiences, democratic participation and inclusion, as well as testing of digital or immersive concepts.
We have worked with leading donors and organisations
