UXA2023 Nova Franklin, James Elks & Katie Eyles - Collaboration!! Reducing embodied carbon together.

Interested in how government + design + sustainability experts came together to co-design a "world-first" tool to tackle global warming? If so come along to this talk for an up-close look at how we managed to achieve the impossible —> getting agreement on a way forward when all of the experts told us this was NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.

  1. So what’s the problem? No globally agreed, standard method for

    measurement No way to fairly compare buildings to know what is good and bad Huge range of stakeholders with interests to protect We need to act right now
  2. Today How we engaged with 200+ individuals 150+ organisations to

    create sector-wide buy-in to reduce embodied emissions in Australian buildings.
  3. Timeline Interviews with innovators Workshops with industry Design the right

    thing (discovery) Set NABERS objectives Design NABERS tool with industry Public consultation Design the thing right (test & iterate) Brief technical team on needs & challenges 9 proposals + A roadmap
  4. Just the build The build and use (e.g. keeping the

    lights on) Build + use + end of life ✓ Simple and impactful ? Future use is an estimated prediction X Not urgent, incentivises things that’ll happen in 50+ years How far into the future should we go?
  5. Start with rules of engagement How do you get people

    to agree? Always be kind Disagree but respectfully Make space for others Respect silent time
  6. Make ideas easy to digest - Stripped back language -

    Stripped back ideas - Context - Rationale How do you get people to agree?
  7. Evaluate options against common needs/aspirations Needs/Principles Just the build The

    build and use (e.g. keeping the lights on) Build + use + end of life Impactful Consistent Collaborative Streamlined Trusted Meaningful Decision - e.g. Which emissions should we measure? How do you get people to agree?
  8. Listen & evolve - Ask people what they think -

    Adjust - Repeat “Thank you for adjusting this based on our concerns. It’s not perfect but I can live with it.”
  9. Make a start, build from there Proposal 10 Roadmap Proposals

    1 - 9 Minimum viable product + How do you get people to agree? “A review of the proposals in this consultation paper will be carried out at approximately 18-24 months following launch”
  10. Q&A

  11. Consider How to scope work like this? What’s in, adjacent

    and out of scope Time, budget and team capability/ capacity SCALE
  12. Consider How to scope work like this? Existing knowledge (inc

    SMEs) Who + how for discovery & testing Time for sensemaking and artefact production Playbacks APPROACH
  13. Scoping projects is a tricky dance How to scope work

    like this? Don’t dance alone! And start small!
