Human-centered design is a process that begins with gaining deep empathy for a customer’s needs, hopes and aspirations for the future.

Human-centered design helps us understand not only people and their needs but also the broader context that shapes their daily lives.

A few years ago, foundations started to see the potential for what human-centered design and the social sector could do together.

They pushed IDEO to investigate.

We turned the human-centered design process on ourselves.

Right now I’m the only person I know in this country who uses this toolkit. If we could share experiences, I would feel part of a community of people doing this work.

Tim BrownIDEO CEO. IDEO.org board member. “IDEO.org is looking to build out the capacity for design in the social sector. This is a space where giving up control is necessary: if you want to participate and be involved in social networks – what I think of as the ‘participation economy’ – our old notions of designing everything in a controlled way just don’t make sense anymore."
