Human-Centered Design Thinking to Innovate and Solve Problems
About the Workshop
Innovation is key to any job responsibility or organization. Enjoy a fun, effective and highly flexible sampling of Human Centered Design tools that honor the people for whom the product, service or policy is being designed. Work together to create, improve, choose and evaluate new strategies and solutions that can be applied to any challenge or opportunity at work or at home.
Participants in this workshop will:
- Learn core Design Thinking principles and why they are so important to innovative solutions.
- Practice ways to understand and build empathy for the people/populations who will benefit from your strategies so they’ll work in real life.
- Try out a fun and quick exercise to frame the goal and its scope, which is essential to finding the best solutions.
- Dig indepth with an easy diagramming tool that explores the people, places and things involved in your topic to draw out key connections and features of your challenge or opportunity.
- Try out ways to evaluate emerging ideas and then tell your story about your final policy, service, or product.
