IDEO's Human Centred Design Toolkit

IDEO have released a comprehensive suite of materials to explain and organise Human Centred Design projects.



From the introduction: "This toolkit is the result of a project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The BMGF brought together four organizations —IDEO, IDE, Heifer International, and ICRW—to partner in the creation of a method for guiding innovation and design for smallholder farmers"

There's an enormous amount of good quality material in here, including advice on preparing for fieldwork, organising and framing workshops, managing the design process and much more. Its already seeping out - a client actually sent me a copy yesterday as part of a project I'm working on at Engine, and Arne has also spotted it over at Design Thinkers. Thanks Bill!
