how to improve everything: an introduction to human-centered design
DESCRIPTION
Great products, great departments and great companies have at least 1 thing in common; they deliver precisely what is desired by the people who use them. With the correct application of a "Design Thinking" approach, a talented team can help transform or improve any business. Join Nicky Samuels as she explores the discipline of "human-centered design". You will examine the benefits of an empathic approach and be introduced to the problem solving technique of HMW (How Might We?). Nicole will highlight the competitive advantage of research with "Extreme Users" and outline the advance of 'gamification' to help develop these Design Thinking skills.TRANSCRIPT
