Public Programs
Introduction to HCD
Perfect for building a foundational awareness of human-centred design. Good for broader team participation.
Designing with People
Great primer for teams new to design and working with key stakeholders in the design process and mindsets.
Human-centred Facilitation
Ideal for practitioners looking to up-skill their large group or senior executive facilitation skills to the next level.
Build and scale capability in your organisation
Human-centred design is most effective when a critical mass of people is on board and using HCD as an integrated, daily practice.
Huddle has been building capability in large enterprises since 2009. We partner with our clients to up-skill their leaders and practitioners so pivotal projects can be undertaken and positive outcomes achieved.
Raise awareness
At both the leadership and team level, our introductory courses help raise awareness of the benefits of adopting a human-centred practice, and the changes required to achieve lasting results. Their practical application is built into every course.
Build capability
Our more advanced programs are designed to position design as a strategic advantage in your organisation. Building and supporting practitioner capability by changing leadership mindsets and behaviours is absolutely fundamental to achieving real impact.
Apply at scale
Centralised design team? Distributed capability across the organisation? Our design maturity model helps organisations adapt and evolve as they build understanding and capability to be human-centred.
Which capability building program is right for you?
Team programs
You have a team who will benefit from learning and applying human-centred design.
For you, we offer curated versions of our public courses, such as HCD101, Designing for People and Human-centred facilitation. We incorporate your team's real world challenges to enhance relevance and adoption of human-centred design. Courses are delivered either at your site or at Huddle.
Bespoke training
You're in an unique situation and need something that sits outside the normal scope of HCD training.
We tailor programs that address specific challenges. The program will reflect the cultural, operational and design maturity of the organisation. For example, we've designed programs for agile teams, leading through VUCA and industry-specific problems.
Scaled rollouts
You're a leader who is 100% committed to working in a human-centred way. You know it's time to get the rest of the organisation on board.
Great news! We can help you develop a plan and rollout strategy to deliver one of our introductory or intermediate programs at scale. We assign a team of our highly experienced HCD practitioners to ensure a consistent experience for your teams.
