Karkhana Global takes a non-linear iterative approach to project implementation and management that ensures end-users participate in the development process i.e. is co-created, has built in opportunities to gather information about the environment at a given time i.e. is context aware, to reflect on one’s actions and generate insights about them i.e. enables learning, and to adjust one’s behaviors based on changes in the context and new insights i.e. is adaptive.
Using our own design thinking/Human Centered design inspired toolkit TMPI (Think Make Play Improve) we approach all projects and initiatives as a series of cycles where planning occurs (Think), action is initiated (Make), activities are conducted in partnership with others (Play), and a reflection phase where insights are generated/learnings are realized (Improve). After the Improve phase, the project begins
another TMPI cycle starting at a Think phase.
The TMPI toolkit codifies specific techniques and processes that teams can deploy at each stage of the cycle. The toolkit is itself a living document which is iteratively updated based on learnings from implementation actions and periodic reviews of global best practices.
