IDEO Design Kit
Design Kit aims to teach everyone, from CEOs to activists, the principles of human-centered design
Design Kit is an online learning platform for human-centered design geared toward leaders struggling with poverty in their communities. Through a series of seven videos and a selection of case studies, the kit teaches novices how an approach to design that focuses on empathy can produce innovative solutions to hard problems.
With Design Kit, Ideo.org wants to make human-centered design available to everyone, from corporate leaders to community organizers to ministers to designers themselves. And it has tapped Ideo's top brass, including CEO Tim Brown and cofounder David Kelley, to help.
With this platform, IDEO makes it possible for millions of people to help others through human-centered design thinking.
