Human Centred Design Workshop
Interest in Human–Centred Design (HCD) – designing solutions driven by the needs, desires, and contexts of people has been growing rapidly the past few years, with many clients asking if we can provide training. PDD is pleased to announce that we've partnered with LUMA Institute, the premier HCD educational organisation in the US, to bring Human-Centred Design Workshops to London.
These two day workshops will introduce participants to the discipline of Human–Centred Design and cover a wide range of HCD methods, from ethnography, usability inspection methods, to rapid prototyping. It's ideal for people who want learn more about HCD, those who want to improve their skills, and those who want a clearer idea of how to integrate HCD into their organisation.
Through a dynamic mix of short lectures and hands-on activities you will learn methods that help:
• Provide your teams with a repeatable way to innovate
• Reduce overall development costs
• Promote productive interdisciplinary collaboration
• Tame the complexity of your products, services or policies
The workshops are facilitated by LUMA Institute instructors and PDD specialists. We limit the workshop to 12 participants to allow for an optimal balance between small group activities and more individual attention.
