5 Step Design Thinking Process
EMPATHIZE
DEFINE
IDEATE
PROTOTYPE
TEST
2015
Empathize
Interview:
▪ Keep your questions Open Ended
▪ To understand habits, avoid ‘on average’ or ‘usually’. Choose ‘Tell me
about the the last time….’
▪ Encourage stories
▪ Don’t fill the pauses with suggesting answers to their questions.
▪ Don’t ask leading questions.
Take a minute and think as a pair about the questions you
want to ask your user.
2015
2015
Empathize
Dig Deeper
▪ Probe by asking a ’why’ question.
▪ For a few minutes forget about the wallet, find out more about your user.
2015
2015
Define
‘Goals and wishes’ & ‘Insights’
(User’s) (Interviewees)
“I always carry cash when I do grocery shopping on Sunday
morning.”
“That’s when they get fresh stocks, it makes me feel good
to buy fresh vegetables for my family.”
2015
2015
Define
“Point of View” [problem statement, sort of- not really.]
▪ YOUR point of view of what your user needs.
▪ Be aware of the contradictions, surprises, tensions.

a way to easily know how much cash is left in his wallet
because
he shops in crowded marketplaces.

2015
Diverge Then Converge
2015
Ideate
Sketch
▪ Turn off the Critique’s voice in your head. Don’t judge - just draw
solutions.
▪ Go for volume.
▪ Remember to be visual.
2015
2015
Ideate
Take a minute, as a pair pick top 5 ideas
Share
▪ Keep your explanation to the minimum. Listen Now. Go back to
Empathy mode.
▪ Explain your idea. Don’t spend time defending.
▪ This is about validating your ideas.
▪ Remember that you are not necessarily looking to find one winner
idea.
2015
2015
Diverge Then Converge
2015
Iterate
Reflect
▪ You have a LOT of information now about your user AND the ideas
you’ve generated
▪ Think about all this information against the problem statement you
came up with earlier
Generate
▪ Quickly sketch what your solution
2015
2015
Build
▪ It doesn’t have to be perfect
▪ Think of how your user is going to use the
wallet
▪ Be scrappy!
2015
2015
Testing & Getting Feedback
▪ Let Go!
▪ Your Prototype is not important. The feedback is.
▪ Observe for a bit how the user uses OR misuses it.
▪ Make notes on how your user interacts and their
reactions.
▪ Now, ask them what worked and what didn’t.
