Let's start the workshop by framing our persona. Can anyone remind us what we do in this stage?
We read the persona profile and brainstorm questions to understand their context.
Exactly! This helps us dive deeper into their experiences. Why is this part important?
It sets the stage for our insights. If we know their context well, we can gather better insights.
Great! Now, think about how we can generate context questions for our persona. Remember to keep them open-ended!
What are the main challenges that the persona faces in their daily tasks could be one.
Maybe we can ask what they enjoy or dislike about those tasks?
Fantastic suggestions! Let’s note them down. Remember, gathering the right context will steer our entire workshop.
Now that we’ve framed our persona, we’ll move to the Silent Note Capture phase. What quadrants will we fill out?
We write down what the persona ‘Says’, ‘Thinks’, ‘Does’, and ‘Feels’.
Right! As you do this, think about how these insights might impact their needs. Are we ready to start?
I feel like this part will really help us empathize with the persona.
Exactly! Remember to spend a little time reflecting on each quadrant. I’ll give you ten minutes.
Now let’s cluster the notes. Who can remind me why clustering is beneficial?
It highlights common themes and patterns in our observations.
Correct! Let’s begin clustering. What themes do you notice here?
I see several notes about fear of damaging items, we can cluster those together.
Great observation! And what label can we give this cluster?
Maybe we can label it ‘Safety Concerns’?
Perfect! That gives us insight into a critical need for our persona.
Let’s conclude by crafting an insight statement. What do we want it to express?
It should capture a main need or challenge the persona faces.
Exactly! Based on our clusters, can someone suggest an insight statement for our persona?
How about ‘Noah needs a way to securely transport his sketches while avoiding bulky packaging’?
That’s a brilliant insight statement! Always remember, this statement acts as a guide for your design process.
It feels empowering to actually find these insights!
It indeed is! Understanding our users deeply is essential for successful design.
Framing, Staming, Insight Claiming! Capture, Cluster, Label like it's exciting!
Imagine a student named Noah who loves art. He carries a sketchbook but always worries about it getting damaged. As we frame his story, we begin to uncover that he needs a solution that keeps his art safe while he moves around—just like a well-crafted armor.

The process of establishing the context and understanding of the user's persona to drive insights.
A focused activity where individuals jot down observations and insights related to a user persona.
The method of grouping related insights together and giving them thematic labels for better understanding.
A concise summary that captures a key need or challenge faced by the persona.
This section describes the structured activity steps for conducting an empathy-mapping workshop in the design thinking process.
The Activity Steps section outlines a systematic approach for students to conduct a Rapid Empathy-Mapping Workshop, emphasizing the importance of understanding user needs through various phases including framing, silent note capture, clustering insights, and formulating insight statements.
This section provides a comprehensive guide on conducting an empathy-mapping workshop, integral to the design thinking process. The activity steps are organized into several stages:
The facilitator reads out the assigned persona, setting the stage for brainstorming relevant context questions that will direct the empathy-mapping process.
During this phase, students independently jot down insights under four quadrants: ‘Says’, ‘Thinks’, ‘Does’, and ‘Feels’. This silence allows for introspective thinking and personal interpretation of the persona’s experiences.
Once insights are collected, groups organize them into thematic clusters and assign labels to these clusters. This helps to identify patterns and common themes within user experiences.
In this phase, groups craft a concise insight statement that encapsulates a key need or challenge faced by the persona. This statement will aid in guiding future design efforts.
In summary, this structured workshop serves as a crucial exercise in empathizing with users, thereby laying the groundwork for subsequent stages in the design thinking process.
