Applying human centered Design to diversity initiatives

2:15 pm - 5:15 pm

As a certified Luma practitioner, someone in both the giving and receiving ends of diversity initiatives and a Software Engineer for over 7 years, I know that the use of the human-centred design in diversity projects and initiatives cannot be overemphasized. Using the LUMA methodology, this is a hands-on workshop that will start from the preliminary and end with a definite project that the workshop attendees can use immediately at work. Is it possible to design diversity initiatives for the next billion users and not think about human-centred Design? well that is not possible and that is why the workshop will cover these essentials; Looking- Methods of observing human experience. Understanding - Methods to analyse challenges and opportunities Making -Methods of envisioning future possibilities. You see, most people just jump to three and that is what kills the product. Since you want to design for the next billion users, shouldn't we start by LOOKING and UNDERSTANDING the users first before MAKING?
