CoDesign Conversations

Exploring public and private sector innovation

CoDesign Conversations is a bi-weekly LinkedIn Live series launching in August 2025, presented by Coforma, a values-driven digital services company. The series explores the intersection of public and private sector innovation through dialogue-driven conversations between public change-makers and private sector leaders.

Each episode addresses a timely theme and the critical challenges facing today’s creative professionals—highlighting how cross-sector collaboration drives breakthrough ideas and more equitable, effective systems. Topics include support for displaced federal workers, digital modernization, the ethical application of AI, improved access to public benefits, and secure digital infrastructure.

By elevating these conversations and the people leading them, CoDesign Conversations aims to support a growing community of civic-minded professionals committed to designing a more just and responsive future.

“With the rise in remote work and growth in the number and scale of government digitization projects over the past decade, we’re seeing more professionals navigate between the public and private sectors. This series highlights not only the importance of shared values across these spaces, but the positive impacts when insights are exchanged across the boundaries.”

Melissa Casburn, VP of Design at Coforma

“Exciting opportunities emerge when we connect the dots across often-disconnected ecosystems. New pathways can lead to vibrant possibilities for collaboration that help us improve the experiences of our shared “customers” – our fellow citizens. These conversations will bring folks together from public and private sectors to shine a light not just on our shared objectives and challenges, but also our unique capabilities and collective hope.“
