Great design research resource from IDEO

Happy New Year to you all, it will be an exciting year for all of you I'm sure!

I just came across this great resource for design research using human centred design methods as I always propagate in our course. It is a toolkit that was developed by IDEO for an NGO working with small holder farmers in Vietnam. The level of detail in the toolkit (that you can download) is very good. Since it is so detailed you will need to put effort in changing it if you want to use it for your own projects but that is good because it will help you to understand what it really is useful for.

I particularly like the strong connection between design and research in this toolkit, and the strong emphasis on listening and prototyping.

Enjoy!
