Take the quiz
Identify your strengths and areas for growth, to find relevant learning opportunities and empower you to build a flourishing co-design practice.
How this assessment works
Using ten reflective statements, this quiz will assess your co-design capabilities across four domains:
people, practice, process and place.
This is a selected set of dimensions from Emma Blomkamp's Co-Design Maturity Model and
Systemic Design Practice Framework - not a full capability assessment.
People
Are you valuing lived experience, power literate, and forming co-design teams?
Practice
Are you skilled at facilitation and engagement, systems thinking, and reflection and evaluation?
Process
Do you follow ethical standards? Are you comfortable with trial and error?
Place
How well do you create conditions for participation and alignment across scales of design?
What's your
co-design practice like?
Identify your level of co-design maturity.
For each question, choose the response that is true for you at the moment. “True” means you could demonstrate all parts of the statement to an expert in the field. If only some things are true, choose the statement before it.
If you don’t know what an item means or how it’s relevant, choose the first response (“I’m not sure”) and move to the next question.
"Having a straightforward framework like this helps me know where to focus on growing my own practice and helps me to guide others in theirs. It's practical, nuanced, and based on Emma's years of hands-on and academic experience with co-design."

"It’s absolutely ace – it really helps someone like me reflect on my areas of competence and clearly identifies gaps in my skills and knowledge."
Sam Champion
Participation & Development Manager, Youth Affairs Council Victoria
"It's very practical and particularly helpful for those who may not have a deep knowledge of, or background in, co-design and can come to this practice knowing it's okay to be at the beginning and exploring. What’s great is that you get tips on where to next!"
Sandie Pullen
Experience Design Lead, Beyond Blue
