Why Human Centred Design Matters

Solving complex problems today requires more than thinking up unique solutions and moving through agile implementation. The needs of individuals, organisations, and populations are rapidly changing. Collaborating with the people who matter most and innovating through collaborative design processes is critical if we’re to make the kind of impact in the world we need.

Our Ethical Human Centred Design Foundations workshop provides you with the training and resources to begin thoughtfully collaborating with the people you’re designing for. It also helps develop your understanding of the ethical implications of unconscious bias as well as the ways in which we can identify our assumptions before taking action.

What You’ll Learn

1. Introduction to human-centred design while building awareness about how it can be used to understand problems and to design solutions.
   
2. Learn about co-design in action, and the core principles and approaches to an ethical practice.
   
3. Gain hands-on experience of human-centred design through an experiential activity that moves through a ‘Double-Diamond’ design process.
   
4. By the end of the session, you’ll have a practical, foundational understanding of what it means to practise ethical human-centred design.
