    • Use a virtual format as it allows for remote collaboration and broader reach
    • Lay the groundwork well in advance
    • Be flexible with your process, tools, and timing
    • Work with partners with deep ties in communities to engage potential co-designers with lived experience
    • Provide an honorarium for co-designers’ time and expertise
    • Ensure other design team members are aware of power dynamics and biases
    • Put the challenge into historical context
