I wrote this article called Being There When a Team is Starting Their First Design Journey, my first Medium article. So many organizations in the recent 10+ years have asked: what if we explore if we should build something for our audience instead of just can we build something. They may not have intended to ask that question at the start, but they're asking this when they invite human centered design. Like I shared in the article "Even though UX design is becoming more common, the tools and skills of UX are not yet everywhere". Great opportunity for human centered designers to contribute.

In this Polytechnicast I share a summary of the article and explore some additional thoughts surrounding. It would be faster to read the article but then you'd miss out on all this extra commentary.
