Human-Centered Design 

Human-Centered Design (HCD) is an evidence-based approach to developing more efficient, effective products and processes.

​

Taught at Stanford, Harvard, and other leading business schools, and employed at over a dozen federal agencies and numerous states, HCD is a process that involves the people who will use the service or product from the beginning and throughout the design and development process. The result being enhancements that are genuinely valuable to customers. 

​

2MC's award winning, certified staff can facilitate an HCD-driven project with your team, improving your effectiveness and increasing your ability to receive grant funding targeted at evidence-based practices.
