Intersection's Education Collaboratory
As design practitioners, we teach what we practice - Human-Centered Design Thinking (HCD). HCD is more than a trend as corporations, government agencies and nonprofits adopt its' practices as they see the benefits:
• Mitigates risk
• Creates differentiation
• Improves innovation outcomes
• Solves business challenges
• Shortens the adoption curve
• Increases brand value
