CI&T

BETTER FUTURE, the world's largest network of design award programs, announced CI&T as a winner of the Australian Design Awards 2023. CI&T's Empathy Lab Workshop was awarded silver in the category Systems - Social Design, aimed at initiatives that optimise systems performance by focusing on the human component - human capacities, abilities, limitations and aspirations.

Empathy Lab Workshop

The Empathy Lab Workshop is a series of digital-based exercises designed to help build empathy for people with disabilities, whether permanent, temporary or situational. Empathy Labs has proven to be a brilliant first engagement for CI&T project teams – a way to show clients how the company works, its priorities and purpose, and begin discussions about how the brand can help with their most ambitious projects.

The workshop is highly interactive, inviting participants to complete a variety of real-world tasks using technology with various sensory simulations. These activities aim to get everyone thinking about the impact they can have in making technology more inclusive to all.

Australian Design Awards 2023

The Australia Design Awards is an open nomination program covering the whole of Australia and features Elevated winning projects from our Australia Award Capitals – Melbourne and Sydney. The goal is to recognise the courage, excellence and diversity of design lead projects that are transforming Australia into the future that we collectively imagine and want to create.

"I've lost track of how many conversations I've had where a client has expressed interest in making their product or service more accessible but. Our Empathy Lab was created to help address this problem – it's the spark that helps align teams and executives around accessibility. It's been amazing seeing this grow from a presentation to a virtual, interactive workshop that has now run in five countries.”

David Bacon, Director of Design for C&T in Australia.
