The innovation process is only accelerating and especially over the last year, access to digital products and services is a growing need. But most of us are still only designing for an imaginary ‘average’ user. So, how do we ensure we don’t forget the diverse needs of the wide range of people we design for?

In February, we are partnering with an agency who continuously look to involve underrepresented voices in the design process and design better solutions for everyone. We are very excited to invite you to the Cards for Humanity workshop in collaboration with global design studio Idean. 

Cards for Humanity is a practical tool to help you design more inclusively. Inclusive design allows everyone to access, use and enjoy a service experience. No matter what their situation or context.

In this digital workshop, we’ll share a brief introduction to inclusive design and why it’s important. We’ll reflect and confront our own biases and experiment with some of Idean’s inclusive design tools to welcome more perspectives into your design process. And we will practice using Cards for Humanity to demonstrate how to use the tool to build empathy for your users. 

What will you take away?

• A new mindset about the value of designing inclusively

• Confidence in using Cards for Humanity to help you to design more inclusively.

• A process for working out and articulating the business case for inclusive design

• A collection of ideas about how you might introduce more inclusive design methods in your day to day work

If you want to learn more about inclusive design and how to embed inclusive design in your practice and organisation, come along for this inspiring and actionable virtual event. We can’t wait to see you there!
