Join Iain Barker, co-founder of Meld Studios, for a highly interactive session exploring human-centred design theory, practical activities and smatterings of 30 years experience providing HCD services into public and private sector organisations.

Key HCD activities, mindsets and benefits
A diverse range of case studies and impact stories
Discovery research theory and a quick activity
Sensemaking and problem framing
Ideation and codesign

Creating a future vision

In-house training and coaching

As well as running this workshop publicly, it can be run in-house for your organisation. Typically this is done over 1 to 3 days and can involve tackling a real organisational topic/project.

Alternatively Iain can provide a series of one-on-one coaching sessions for individuals or project teams.

What attendees said about our recent workshops

"I loved this 3 day workshop!"
"Inspired me to think more holistically about using HCD principles and techniques. I feel confident I can influence and create change."

"Thanks for a fun and informative introduction to Human Centered Design. Great facilitation and group activities. I really enjoyed the 3 day course."

"So great to see/hear work with optimism and creativity having such meaningful impact in what can otherwise be dry business/gov strategies. Definitely received so many answered to roadblocks in our current customer focus and cultural change. Thank you."

"This is the only service design course I know of that addresses the intersection between tools, socialisation and organisation/of project activities. You nailed it."

"When asked “is there anything from the past 3 days that you think you could apply to your work?” …… I am struggling to think of anything that I won’t apply to work!"
