An awesome resource for human centered design

Here at thinktwo we try to incorporate a lot of human centered design thinking into our day to day tasks.

Recently a colleague was looking for a resource / design toolkit that we can use to explain some of the design research and thinking to a new colleague.

We figured we can probably google up something that explains this stuff in a simple and comprehensive manner, and we ran into this brilliant resources offered free by IDEO.

So, from hear and create

to implement and deliver...BTW, we love the twist on the HCD acronym :-)

While this toolkit may look like it is targeted for emerging markets / base of the pyramid etc., this is actually pretty much how we would do design research in US or Europe as well. This toolkit can be downloaded here.

Thanks to the IDEO folks for freely sharing this nugget of knowledge.
