Human-centered design (HCD) is much more than simply following Design Thinking principles and Agile work processes. It’s an intentional practice creating experiences across the organization, not only focusing on employees but customers and the community alike. Overlaying Design Thinking with HCD allows L&D to play a crucial role in an organization-wide human-centered approach focusing on human outcomes and reinventing experiences that align with the modern learner.
In this webinar, we will talk about what HCD is and how it relates directly to the five stages of Design Thinking, and share actionable ideas on how to help organizations be more intentional about creating human-focused learner experiences.
During this interactive webinar, we will provide easy-to-understand insights on:
