Business for Good: A Workshop Series – Design Thinking and Human Centered Design

Description

In this session you will be introduced to the fundamentals of design thinking and human centered design. We will examine what constitutes a design approach through ideation, trigger questions, prototyping from rough to refined views, and iterative development.

Adopting a design mindset is critical to the process of building a new venture, launching a new business, product or service, or changing the way you do business. Design Thinking, popularized by Stanford’s d.school, is a process that you go through to create solutions that will actually be adopted by people. Human-Centered Design, popularized by IDEO.org, is a mindset that overlays design thinking to ensure that the products are actually relevant and beneficial – in the long run – for the people they are intended to serve. Combined, they offer a process and mindset that creates self-sustaining solutions to some of the world’s greatest challenges.
