Important for this playbook

These exercises help transition from broad exploration of the problem space to focused understanding. They invite you to sift through your gathered data, decipher patterns, and discern the crux of the user challenges encountered.

In this phase, we shift from empathizing to synthesizing our findings into actionable insight by employing analytical, linear thinking to distill user insights into a clearly articulated problem statement. This is not about framing your problem as a business objective; rather, it’s about embracing the user’s standpoint.

Translate your user’s voice into a clear, guiding problem statement that illuminates the path forward. Dive in and embrace the journey from empathy to problem definition – a journey that brings clarity, focus, and user-centricity to your problem-solving process.
