One of the biggest challenges of applying the Human Centered Design methodology is to remain human-centered in the quest to serve the needs and desires of actual humans. Believe it or not, simply being human is insufficient for understanding most of our fellows. The process requires us to approach familiar situations, people and things as though it's the first time we've encountered them again.
The Human-Centered Design course is a foundational course that will introduce learners to the different tools, techniques and mindsets to kick-start your journey in becoming more human-centered in an ever digitising world.
Learning Outcomes:
- Describe the steps of the human centered design process

- Make specific recommendations on how to apply human centered design within one’s own organization to achieve identified business benefits
- Discuss specific behaviours that are required to effectively apply design thinking in a business environment
