IDEO’s Human Centered Design Kit
UX Interaction Design July 22nd, 2009
Ideo has developed a toolkit for HCD for “communities of need” (read: 3rd world or impoverished populations). Pretty cool stuff that is an applicable methodology for designing solutions to problems in any context.
Human-Centered Design is a process used for decades to create new solutions for companies and organizations. Human-Centered Design can help you enhance the lives of people. This process has been specially-adapted for organizations like yours that work with people in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Human-Centered Design (HCD) will help you hear people’s needs in new ways, create innovative solutions to meet these needs, and deliver solutions with financial sustainability in mind.
The nicely designed intro to the whole thing: Intro Guide.pdf
How to perform the field research: The “Hear Guide“, the companion Field Guide, and the Aspirations Cards
(60 stock photographs / flash cards).
The Create Guide to organize your research into solutions
The Deliver guide to make the implementation plan and generate deliverables.
