12 – Inspire Wrap Up
Overview of the Journey Congratulations! You have completed the Inspire program and have come a long way. You’ve walked through the double diamond, waded through the ambiguity of data collection, found the right problem to solve, generated some brilliant ideas, found purpose in prototyping, and landed on a solution that meets your users’ needs. You’ve […]
11 – Ready, Set, Go
Overview This is an exciting stage of the process; you’ve nearly completed the second diamond! You may have made it through a few loops of iteration and are hopefully feeling confident in your solution. During this lesson you will learn:
10 – Test it Out
Overview Now that you have created a prototype, you get to use it! Prototype testing means taking your prototype, presenting it to your target audience, and gathering feedback about what works and what doesn’t. During this lesson you will learn:
9 – Bring Your Ideas to Life

Prototyping is a process that checks your idea or ideas with real people to uncover gaps in your solution. It […]
8 – Come Up with Ideas
Overview Congratulations! You have completed the first diamond and have entered the second diamond of the Double Diamond approach. As a reminder, during the first diamond you worked to discover the “right problem.” During the second, you will design the “right solution.” During this lesson you will learn:
7 – Define and Reframe
Overview Now that you have completed your synthesis and drawn some insights, it is time to reflect and reassess. This is the last step of the first diamond of the Double Diamond Framework. During this lesson you will learn:
6 – Make Connections
Overview Now that you’ve completed your research, you’ve also completed the divergent portion of the First Diamond! Next you need to make sense of the data you’ve gathered; this process is called synthesis. During this lesson you will learn: This is where you will start to see your problem a little more clearly and develop […]
5 – Develop Empathy
Overview We’ve talked about how important empathy is to the human-centered design process, but what is it and how do we use it? During this lesson you’ll learn more about:
4 – Where Do You Start?
Overview Where Do You Start? Sometimes we’re aware of a general problem or problem area that we want to work on, but we don’t know where to start. In this lesson you’ll learn more about:
3 – Your Baseline
Overview The Inspire program is designed to help you develop new skillsets, toolsets, and mindsets. Skillsets are the ability to execute specific actions and processes. The skillsets you’ll learn are: Toolsets are a set of practices and methods that you bring to a challenge. The toolsets we’ll share are: Mindsets are sets of beliefs, values, […]
