Here’s a fun little game to play. It’s like a sketch audit of you/your business/product/service/endeavour.
The scope of human-centred design is, well, large and ambitious. This scale helps us place current literacy and effort against that which is required to hit a minimum-viable compliance for systemic sustainability (how’s that for a sentence?).

Level 1

How do we get what we (as an organisation) want?

Level 2

…while giving our customers what they want…

Level 3

…AND deliberately giving us both what we truly need…

Level 4

…WHILE contributing to (and benefitting from) the success of our whole stakeholder network…

Level 5

…SO we all positively impact all life, our planet and our collective future?

Tough, right? Let me know your thoughts in the comments (and your biz’s level too, if you’d like)!
