Mindful reflection
Structured reflection allows for continuous learning and improvement of our decisions, actions and practices. It helps catch problems early so we can adjust accordingly. Similar to the agile method: small, consistent changes lead to better results.
Listening channels
Are you more of a tune out or tune in type? Do you listen intently or are you just waiting to speak? As human beings, we listen from different channels, even if we don't know it. Use this tool to increase your awareness and practice of advanced
listening skills.
Empathy map
An empathy map is a helpful tool to use when wanting to gain a snapshot of a person's or group's perception of what they are experiencing relative to a topic or situation. It provides rich baseline data to spark curiosity and explore further in design research.
How might we...
The quintessential human-centred design question is "How might we...so that...?" It's a way to transform needs and insights into the basis for creating meaningful solutions. Use this template to ideate and iterate your own "How might we" (HMW) questions.

The Story of Design
Tuesday August 27, 12pm
Do you sometimes find yourself explaining design and the benefits of exploring a problem deeply rather than being seduced by a solution, only to be met by blank faces or urgent requests for immediate answers?
Are you looking to move the conversation from “I get it, but now isn’t the right time” to evoking trust in your leaders and autonomy of your creative freedom?
The way in which you craft, pitch and speak about design can successfully communicate to, support and grow confidence in those not as familiar to design.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How to communicate design in a way that builds trust and confidence for people in non-design backgrounds
- How to deliver a strong pitch and presentation
- How to facilitate buy-in by reading the room, mindsets and holding space
From communicating the first steps of your ideas to facilitating buy-in, articulating your design story is vital to contribute to the success of your project and bringing people on the journey with you. If not, the resistance to change far outweighs your efforts.

Huddle Thinking Framework—A different way to plan
People think and speak about the same things in different ways — some are action focused, others are all about the big picture.
