Individual Inspire Part 2:

Designing Effective Solutions

Are you a change maker, entrepreneur, social innovator, or someone looking to learn more about human-centered design and design thinking?

Course Introduction

Are you ready for the second part of Individual Inspire? We work to enable individuals to improve project outcomes and develop sustainable innovation practices wherever they may be. Individual Inspire aims to accelerate impact on the critical issues facing our communities and we believe that design can be a powerful tool to achieve this positive social change.

Throughout this program, you will learn a variety of toolsets, skillsets, and mindsets that you can use to cultivate novel solutions within your organization and community. Inspire is built on a structure called the Double Diamond, a common framework that focuses on finding the right problem first and then designing the right solution.

Throughout inspire, you will learn different design thinking frameworks, where to start, how to develop empathy and gather research, how to narrow your focus, and various strategies for ideation, prototyping, and testing. You will also learn how to use a business model canvas and move through the problem-solving process all the way to launching a product or service.

Course Format

You already have access to all virtual Inspire content, including:

  • 6 – 9 hours of online material (2-3 hours of course work per week)
  • Access to tested frameworks for solving complex problems.
  • Access to a network of like-minded peers.

This course is designed to help participants learn the design skills needed to work through a real-life problem and is most effective when users identify a challenge they’d like to solve before registering. This problem doesn’t need to be big or complex! It can be any gap in a system or question that needs an answer.

The Inspire process will help participants identify if they’ve selected the right problem, generate new and innovative ideas, and utilize tools and frameworks to prototype, test, and implement their solutions.
