Practical ideas to bring into your next project conversation.

The five LX Lens areas

The LX Lens looks at five areas that help projects involve lived and living experience and expertise more clearly and meaningfully.

01

Purpose

The project is clear about what it is trying to improve, for whom, and why LX is needed.

02

Influence

The project is clear about what people with LX can genuinely shape, change or decide.

03

Participation and support

The way people are involved fits the purpose, and contributors are prepared and supported.

04

Meaning-making

People with LX help interpret what is learned, not just provide input to be interpreted by others.

Follow-through

Contributors hear what happened with their input, and someone is accountable for responding to what is learned.
