Australia’s BizLab Human Centered Design Curriculum

BizLab - Australian Government

Australia's BizLab, within the Department of Industry, Innovation, and Science, was established in 2016 and launched BizLab Academy in 2018. The goal of the academy is to teach Human Centred Design (HCD) to department employees, but also the rest of the Australian Public Service. The academy aims to strengthen the public sector's capability for evidence-based policy and service design while at the same time instilling a citizen-centric culture and building an alumni of human centred design practitioners and advocates.

This curriculum has been modified and adjusted after trial sessions and is available for others to help guide, build, and design their own training modules. It includes a facilitation guide, presentation, and artefacts.

One review for "Gamestorming Toolkit"

    The Gamestorming Toolkit, published by Gamestorming, is actually a website that encapsulates a great number of toolkit-games. They are sorted in categories according to their purpose, ranging from games for decision-making to games for design, team building or just basic icebreakers. The archive is very complete and contains games for almost everything. However, that can also be a disadvantage as it can be confusing to decide where to begin or what to play.
    That’s why I wouldn’t recommend sifting through all of the games, because there simply are so many. Instead, take a look in categories that interest you or use the search bar to find precise games.
