See all formats and editions

For years, businesses have used human-centered design to develop innovative solutions. Why not apply the same approach to overcome challenges in the nonprofit world? This project, funded by International Development Enterprise (IDE) as part of a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, sought to provide NGOs and social enterprises with the tools to do just that. IDEO, in collaboration with nonprofit groups ICRW and Heifer International, developed the HCD Toolkit to help international staff and volunteers understand a community's needs in new ways, find innovative solutions to meet those needs, and deliver solutions with financial sustainability in mind. The HCD Toolkit was designed specifically for NGOs and social enterprises that work with impoverished communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The free kit, available for download here, walks users through the human-centered design process and supports them in activities such as building listening skills, running workshops

Review

"Many thanks to IDEO for their Human-Centered Design Toolkit, which served as a guide for our work." --Joel Montgomery, 2009 Acumen Fund fellow working on the Micro Drip irrigation system in Pakistan

"An impressive study intended to create a common language around designing for social impact. Most impressive, though, is that the entire body of work is available to all via free downloads." --John Barratt, IDSA President and Teague CEO

"The HCD Toolkit is probably the most insightful document I have come across within the HCD/interaction design industry." --Majid Mirza, Micro Drip, Pakistan

Solving bigger problems than chairs.

I think it's great that IDEO finally came up with some manual that will not only help you solve problems but will also change your perspective of what a problem really is. It's easy to forget you are solving people's issues when you are developing an idea or working on your MVP. This toolkit put people in the centre and shifts focus from problem to person. I hope ideators (apologies for the nonsense word) all around come across this paradigm changing literature and start focusing on the humans behind the purpose of design.
