Innovation through Human-Centered Design Workshop

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

INNOVATION IS CRUCIAL for most organizations, yet few people are equipped to innovate with confidence. Human-Centered Design can help. The discipline of developing solutions in service of people greatly increases the likelihood of truly innovative results.

Whether you’re looking to grow a culture of innovation throughout your organization, prepare a team to be innovation catalysts, or just improve your own capabilities, this workshop is a great place to start. 

Founding Fuel is committed to bring the finest minds and institutions of our times to a single platform. That is why, in a first in India, Founding Fuel has partnered with the LUMA Institute to offer an intensive workshop on Innovation through  Human Centered Design—an idea that is completely altering how organizations across the world are working.  

Through a mix of lectures and hands-on activities, this workshop introduces participants to the LUMA System of Innovating for People—a flexible framework for practicing Human-Centered Design.  It is intended to:

• Provide teams with a repeatable way to innovate
• Get more out of your direct customer research
• Measure the impact of your product development efforts
• Promote productive interdisciplinary collaboration
• Learn creative alternatives to traditional brainstorming

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This workshop is ideal for anyone who seeks to accelerate innovation within their organization, is interested in Human-Centered Design, or who wants to improve their skills in these areas.

Ideal participants are experienced professionals in positions of influence within their organization, who can see the opportunity and aspire to create a culture of innovation.

Because collaboration is a key driver of innovation, we encourage multiple attendees—spanning levels and functions—from any organization.
