Human Centered Design

The Human Centered Design (HCD) Toolkit is now available in its second edition.

A free innovation guide for NGOs and Social Enterprises
“For years, organizations have used Human-Centered Design (HCD) to arrive at innovative business solutions. In collaboration with the Gates Foundation and non-profit groups IDE, ICRW, and Heifer International, IDEO has specially adapted this process for NGOs and social enterprises that work with impoverished communities around the world. The resulting HCD Toolkit helps organizations understand people’s needs in new ways, find innovative solutions to meet these needs, and deliver solutions with financial sustainability in mind.”
You can find out more about it on IDEO’s website (and download it for free) here and, if you don’t want to go through the hassle of printing it, order hard copies from Blurb here.
It’s a useful little guide.
