What is Human Centered Innovation?

Human Centered Innovation is a systematic approach that consistently places people at the core of every innovation step. It begins with in-depth research into the needs and behaviors of real users and stakeholders to generate ideas from these insights. Within Human Centered Innovation, methods such as interviews, observations, empathy maps, and personas are employed to develop a deep understanding of the target group’s lived experience. As a result, prototypes and solutions emerge that are not only technically feasible but, above all, practically relevant and emotionally engaging. The Human Centered Innovation process is iterative: insights from testing and user feedback are continuously fed back into further development. In this way, Human Centered Innovation minimizes wasted investment and shortens the time-to-market for new products and services.
