Designing What Works: Development Interventions from Model to Scale — the complete course notes
The entire Designing What Works flagship course, distilled into one printable PDF you own — every module's core ideas, diagrams, worked examples, key readings and reflection prompts, ready to annotate and work through offline.
PDF · 14 modules · 68 pages · delivered to your inbox within 24 hours of payment. The course itself stays free to study online — these are the notes to keep.
Why paid notes for a free course?
Everything in the Designing What Works flagship is, and stays, free to study online — the modules, the diagrams, the interactive elements. So why pay for notes?
Because reading on a screen and owning a document you can work from are different things. These notes take the whole course — all 14 modules — and lay them out as one clean, printable, 68-page reference: the arguments in full, every concept diagram, the worked examples, and the open-access key readings, in the order you'd actually use them. Print it, mark it up, take it into a workshop, keep it on the shelf. No login, no connection, no distraction — just the course, in your hands.
The modest price isn't for the information — that's free. It's for the finished artefact: the hours of layout, the print typesetting, the single-file convenience — and it's what helps keep the rest of ImpactMojo open.
