Learn how to apply human-centered design principles to navigate complex challenges and collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders.
Through practical guidance and actionable strategies, you'll gain tools to create meaningful change in your community in this three-part series.
Local government agencies—whether at the city, county, or township level—play a vital role in shaping people’s lives. From managing essential services and building critical infrastructure to addressing urgent challenges on the ground, their responsibilities are immense. Yet, despite their expertise, many local government offices struggle to connect with residents and design solutions that truly reflect community needs.
When local governments embrace a human-centered design approach, the results can be transformative. This method fosters trust, uncovers key insights, and ensures that solutions are both relevant and impactful.
In this three-part webinar series, local government employees will learn how to apply human-centered design principles to navigate complex challenges and collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders. Through practical guidance and actionable strategies, participants will gain tools to create meaningful change in their communities.
Participants will receive a Certificate of Participation from the d.school.

Can I join the call on my phone?
It’s ideal to join from your computer and not a phone or tablet, so you can see and read the details we show on screen.
What do I need to prepare?
After you register, you will receive some pre-work which invites you to identify a project or program to which you want to apply the workshop's content.
Before we begin, bring something to write with and paper/notebook. Print out the worksheets we will provide. (If you forget them you can still work on paper using the frameworks we will display.)
I have a colleague who would love to attend. Is there still time for them to register?
Yes! They can register up until the day before the workshop date.
Something came up and I no longer will be able to attend live – will I still have access to the recording and resources?
Yes, as long as you are registered, the recording will be shared with you. You'll also get full access to all of the workshop resources and will still be eligible to receive a Certificate of Participation.
