Only 30% of large-scale digital transformations succeed (McKinsey & Company). How do you ensure that yours is one of them? By creating solutions that support the way people actually do their work.
This is known as human-centered design, a problem-solving approach that places the human experience at the core of digital transformation. In this course, you will learn how to use human-centered design to move beyond reactionary “quick fixes” to successfully build and lead impactful digital transformations. Through engaging case studies and project-based exercises, you’ll practice techniques for moderating interviews, analyzing data, and running rapid experiments.
