Founded in 1991, IDEO is an award-winning global design firm that takes a human-centred approach to helping organisations in the public and private sectors innovate and grow. IDEO’s unique approach of “design thinking” focuses on human-centred innovation that draws from the designer’s toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.
To thrive in the 21st century, the need is to teach people how to learn, engage, create and build a generation of design thinkers. This is the spirit that drives IDEO’s designs for learning. Whether it’s about developing tools, environments, or curricula that enable more engaging learning experiences; transforming schools, programs, and organisations; or addressing systemic challenges that affect education-at-large, IDEO’s human-centred methodologies and multi-disciplinary teams bring innovation solutions to education.
IDEO has worked in India for more than five years with domestic and multinational clients. It is committed to developing a greater presence in India, which it sees as a source of great inspiration and learning for human centred design and innovation.
IIHS has partnered with IDEO in its MUP curriculum co-creation, to integrate innovative design thinking and conceptualise innovative learning environments.
