Human Centred Design PART 1: Tools for Discovering and Defining with Jess Gildener

Human Centred Design tools and techniques can help your projects and services work better by focusing on how people actually interact with them and what people really need.

Whether you’re considering an internal digital transformation project or want to design a new product or service for beneficiaries, using the concepts and tools based in Human Centred Design will help you open up new perspectives, question assumptions and create better solutions.

In this session you’ll explore some great tools that help you think about who your users really are and what they’re looking for.

We’ll take a look at a range of tools including interviewing and observation, journey maps, empathy maps, customer personas and value propositions, and techniques for prioritising and focusing in on the next steps.

This session is followed by Human Centred Design PART 2: Tools for Ideating, Prototyping and Testing
