    Human Centered Design (HCD) is an approach to problem solving that develops solutions to problems by involving the human perspective in all steps of the problem-solving process. Because design-thinking can be counter to traditional problem solving, introducing it to an organization can be both transformative and culture-changing. While some companies are investing in in-house design studios others are simply using design thinking tools and approaches, In all cases, organizations are realizing bottom line benefits including: 

    • Deeper customer loyalty, engagement and retention
    • New ways of thinking that drive business transformation and organization change
    • Improved speed to market with reduction in delivery costs
    • Creative solutions to the most challenging business problems

    To truly solve problems and innovate upon opportunities, we must deeply and directly understand the what and why of people's wants and needs...beyond what they can express in words. Your customers' wants and needs are even more vital than the extremely important factors of business viability and technological feasibility. Through the combination of Servant Leadership, Design Thinking, and Human-Centered Research, learn how organizations can harness an abundant supply of qualitative and quantitative human insights to drive compelling solutions and innovations for the people who will actually employ them...or not. Key takeaways include:

    • Prioritizing customers at the top of a Servant Leadership stack
    • Applying human-centered research to spotlight and avoid typical biases
    • Employing Design Thinking to collaboratively unravel disruptive ambiguity

    • How are banks managing the online onboarding and authentication processes?
    • Where are customers experiencing issues in online banking?
    • How can banks balance user experience and security?
