This document discusses design thinking and human-centered design approaches for improving processes at Tufts University. It outlines tools like contextual inquiry, interviews, and design charrettes that can be used to understand user needs and identify opportunities. Prototyping and testing ideas iteratively is emphasized. The goals are to make processes easier for both internal "customers" like staff and faculty, as well as support staff. Enterprise architecture is discussed as a way to integrate systems and share data and business rules consistently across the university. Search, user stories, and an agile development process will also be important. The work will be an ongoing, iterative process of selecting processes to redesign, implementing digital solutions, and releasing improvements quarterly.
