Human-Centered Design for Innovation and Creative Problem Solving

Human-Centered Design (HCD) is a methodology for problem-solving and innovation, particularly useful for UW administrators, faculty, and staff during times of change. It prioritizes understanding people’s needs and perspectives, leading to innovative solutions embraced by the audience. The HCD process involves four phases: inspiration, ideation, prototyping, and implementation, fostering a human perspective throughout problem-solving. This course consists of two three-hour Zoom sessions where participants learn and apply HCD through case studies, culminating in group presentations of prototyped solutions.
