Inclusive design is about more than just making something accessible. It takes into account all forms of difference in humans such as gender, culture and other diverse attributes.
Particularly important is looking at situations where people are excluded from using a product or service and ensuring that the needs of those people are catered for.
About our guestEmma Goddard is Head of Inclusive Design at Deloitte Digital UK. She's spent the last five years channeling her creative energy as a designer into engaging with excluding communities to create solutions that allow everyone to participate in the digital and physical world.
Emma’s led a number of inclusive design engagements across industries, particularly healthcare. Most recently this includes her role leading a team of 17 as Head of Inclusive Design for NHS Test & Trace. She’s also the Co-Chair of the BIMA Inclusive Design Council.

Design Thinking has been used for many years as a framework to solve all kinds of problems. Is this methodology still valid, when customers, organisations and the society are facing a completely new and unprecedented set of conditions?
Kieron Leppard shares his experience working with different clients during the pandemic, talks about the challenges they’re facing and gives his point of view on Design Thinking and how designers can help make change rather than just being part of it.

Kieron believes Design Thinking is still the right methodology to deliver value, but he encourages Designers to focus on real solutions rather than just deliverables.
Speculative design processes and constant prototyping and testing are some of the techniques that Kieron thinks Designers should keep utilising in order to respond to this new level of uncertainty.
