Innovation Starter Kit
The tools in this document are intended to help teams move forward from a nascent idea or intractable problem to take action. Innovation is much more likely and more consistently evident when it comes from a rigorous practice based on defined and repeatable methods. We offer these tools as a way for you and your team to begin to build your own practice around innovation within two specific areas:
Learning from others to gain a broader understanding of the problem or opportunity.
Asking rigorous questions to frame the problem or opportunity with more sensitivity to the underlying issues and context.
Human-Centered Design Reader
We’ve curated a selection of introductory readings and videos that provide an overview of the human-centered design process as well as more specific explanations of various design methods, tools, and mindsets. The links to these resources are compiled in a spreadsheet and organized within several sheet tabs.
