TPX Impact Design Philosophy

TPX Impact brings together designers and researchers into a user-centred design community focused on creating value for organisations through digital transformation programmes. Their design philosophy underpins approaches to work, reflecting who they are and aspire to be as teams of designers and researchers working on complex technology and data-focused projects.

  1. People focused

    Put people at the centre of all work to create positive outcomes for citizens and organisations. Good design creates value by ensuring people outside the organisation can recognise the values that shape how the team works, making the impact of design visible and meaningful.

  2. Diverse reach and thinking

    Encourage diverse thinking through well-targeted user research and co-design work. Good design should work for everyone by bringing together different perspectives and approaches, ensuring solutions are inclusive and effective across diverse user groups and contexts.

  3. Visual and creative

    Create explorative, visual artefacts to support change and make work engaging. Good design should be creative and enjoyable, using visual approaches to make complex transformation programmes more accessible and to communicate ideas effectively.

  4. Ideas made real

    Learn by doing and prototyping to make design tangible and interactive. Good design is something people can directly interact with, allowing teams to test assumptions and iterate quickly through hands-on experimentation and making ideas concrete.

  5. Bold and ambitious

    Challenge the team and others to be bold and ambitious within constraints. Good design is about what can be made possible, pushing boundaries while working within the context of specific programmes, organisations, and stakeholder relationships to achieve transformative outcomes.
