Inspired by the d.school’s empathy map I designed a poster that can be used in focus group meetings or any other research or interview situation.
While asking questions and observing behaviour like body language, tone of voice or choice of words it is important to note everything that occurs in the session. In a second step, or during the session you will encounter contradictions (maybe already in saying), between what people say and what they do. Any contradiction or paradox can lead to a (latent) need or desire. If you ask yourself (or the participant) ‘why the things are as they are’ you may come to remarkable realizations or even an epiphany. This will be your most valuable insights.
