Project & Program
Design & Management
Partnering with businesses and organisations to design, develop and deliver projects and programs that create meaningful impact.
First Innovators works alongside businesses, organisations, social enterprises, communities and government agencies to turn ideas, challenges and opportunities into practical projects and programs.
We bring a collaborative approach to project development. We sit down with you, understand what you are trying to achieve, explore what is possible and work together to design the right approach.
That might start with an exploratory whiteboard session, an existing idea that needs further development, research that has identified a need, a funding opportunity that requires a strong project behind it, or an existing program that needs to grow or change.
From those early conversations, we can help map the project, develop the model, build the plan, identify partners and resources, seek funding and support or manage implementation and deliver
What’s Involved
• Exploratory and whiteboard planning sessions
• Developing ideas into projects and programs
• Project and program design
• Project mapping and action planning
• Tailored program development
• Co design and community engagement

• Strengthening and expanding existing projects and
programs
Some of our best work starts with a conversation.
You may know the challenge you want to address or the outcome you want to achieve but not yet know what the project should look like.
We can bring your team together for exploratory and whiteboard sessions to unpack the idea, ask questions, map what is already happening, identify gaps and explore different possibilities.
We then work collaboratively to turn those conversations into a project or program that can be delivered.
That can include developing the project model, activities, participants, partnerships, budget, timeline, resources, outcomes and measures of success.
Designing & Developing Projects Together
Once a project is designed, we can help make it happen.
We can support funding and grant development, partnerships, budgets, timelines, implementation and bringing together the people and resources needed for delivery.
First Innovators can manage the project, coordinate specific components or work alongside your existing team.
By working collaboratively, we also help build capability within your organisation, strengthen partnerships and develop the knowledge and experience that can support future projects.
The goal is not simply to deliver a project, but to build something meaningful that creates impact and leaves stronger capability behind.
From Planning to Funding & Delivery
Let’s Design & Deliver Something Great Together
Have an idea for a new project or program? Looking to strengthen or expand something you are already delivering? Or have a challenge, opportunity, research findings or community feedback that needs to become a practical response?
Bring it to First Innovators.
We want to work with businesses, organisations, social enterprises, communities and government agencies to design and deliver projects and programs that make a difference.
We can sit down together, put the idea on the whiteboard, explore what is possible, develop the project, identify partners and funding, build the plan and work alongside you to deliver it.
You bring your knowledge, experience and goals. We’ll bring ours.
Let’s combine them and build something meaningful together.
