GRID Impact is a collective for social change
We partner with organizations and communities to co-create equitable, inclusive, and impactful approaches to economic, health and social challenges.
Approach
Behavioral Research &
Participatory Design
Our hybrid methodology meets organizations and people where they are. We combine the rigor of behavioral science with the creative, collaborative, iterative process of human centered design for more participatory approaches and impactful results. We believe in centering lived experience and facilitating processes that allow communities and individuals to design for themselves.
We see ourselves as stewards of a process that allows communities to self-advocate so that our partner organizations can deliver services, programs, and experiences that are relevant, appropriate, and desired. Our integration of behavioral insights into the research and design process results in products, programs and services that respond to how humans actually behave in specific environments.
Executive, Strategic, & Creative Facilitation
Our team uses our skills of research, collaboration, and synthesis to design and facilitate meetings, convenings, strategy development processes, and organizational development journeys for social impact organizations around the world. We are trained in a variety of facilitation approaches and methodologies that we leverage to create space for the kinds of complex conversations that the social sector demands.
Capacity Building & Education
We are dedicated to investing in and revealing the capacity that we all have to think and create in people-centered ways. We offer classes, workshops, capacity building activities, advisory services, and mentorship to individuals, organizations and communities in order to integrate behavioral insights, participatory design methods, and a community-centered approach into their work.
Our Design for Behavior and Impact class is offered multiple times a year and provides a solid foundation to behavioral design principles and methods. We tailor our Behavioral Research and Participatory Design Workshops to the unique contexts and needs of our partner organizations
