Better seats at better tables

Strengthen and transform your collaborative and community-centred ways of working.

We help you with the how

When it comes to co-design – or any co, participatory, or community engagement approach with people who bring relevant lived and living experience (what a mouthful!) – we’re here to make your life easier and supercharge your efforts.

We bring years of experience and specialised skills so you can:

Move with the times and unlock the power of people-centred ways of working
Connect and collaborate meaningfully with the communities you serve
Strengthen and optimise your systems and practice to avoid common challenges
Keep things practical and action-orientated
Be confident you’re involving people and communities in ways that are welcoming, respectful, inclusive – and genuinely worthwhile – building trust that lasts.

We support people-centred projects and leaders

With Us zine

You need a dose of hope and inspiration.

Co-ways of working aren’t new – and they’re not one-size-fits-all. With Us celebrates co and participatory ways of doing – in action.

We showcase the real, not the perfect. Expect stories about the lessons, wins, and messy bits from people in the thick of it.

We are better together

People and communities know what works best for them, and the world is catching on.

Founded by Sue Muller, supported by a crew of experienced collaborators, we help organisations put people at the heart of policy, health service reform, and product design and development by building better seats at better tables.

If you need good folks who can help you do great work, consider us your new best friends. We meet you where you’re at, listen to what you need, help you fast-track what we’ve already learned the hard way and walk proudly beside you as you step into the future of people-centred ways of doing – for real.

This project has been one of the best work experiences in a long time for me. Thank you again for your guidance and support.
