Design thinking is a measure to enable human-centered policy design. METI, PA, and MEXT have released declarations and guidelines on design thinking, human-centered design, and service design. However, the authors could not find such training courses in the last five years at Hokkaido Regional Development Bureau of the MLIT who handles national land and infrastructure management.

The achievements include improving ideas being more human-centered than pre-course assignment, high recommendation rates, and enhancing trainees’ capabilities, especially in pushing forward the projects and listening.
