Consulting Ethos

At VESTEDin™ Consulting Group, LLC, human-centered design is the key to creating effective and successful solutions for our clients. We are committed to putting people at the center of everything we do, and this approach leads to better outcomes and more meaningful results. 

Our ethos is rooted in authenticity, empathy, collaboration, and innovation, and we work closely with our clients to understand their unique needs and challenges. By putting ourselves in the shoes of their employees and stakeholders, we can develop functional, efficient, intuitive, engaging, and delightful solutions. 

Our human-centered design process involves a deep understanding of the end users and their needs, ideation, and rapid prototyping. By designing truly human-centered solutions integrated into our core services, strategic and succession planning, organizational assessments, meeting design and facilitation, and change management, we can help our clients achieve their goals while positively impacting the communities served.

Consulting Approach 

Our work approach blends design thinking (creative) and systems thinking (critical). Our participatory processes are strategic and reflective. During the steps outlined below, we utilize visualization, mapping, game-storming, prototyping, case study review, and various organizational development and quality management techniques.

Our approach involves key steps, including discovery and research, organizational assessment, confidential qualitative data collection, co-creation, rapid prototyping, and iterative testing. We start by conducting user research to gain a deep understanding of the people we are designing for, including their behaviors, needs, and pain points. We then collaborate with stakeholders to co-create solutions that address these needs. 

Through rapid prototyping, we quickly iterate and test our solutions, incorporating feedback from users and stakeholders along the way. Our human-centered design approach allows us to create solutions that not only meet the needs of our clients but also improve the lives of the people they serve.
