By Phillip Britt, Despite the importance of empathy, many companies ignore it when creating experiences, according to Forrester. “Even if you never use the word ‘empathy’ in your work when creating products or experiences, if you aim for making customers feel understood in your design decisions, then you’re designing for empathy.”
Companies tend to leave empathy out of the design process for a myriad of reasons—they have inadequate empathy practices, they misunderstand empathy, they ignore the emotional quality of the experience, or some combination of those three.

Start the UX design process: Empathize, Define, Ideate is the second course in a certificate program that will equip you with the skills needed to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience (UX) design. In this course, you’ll complete the first phases of the design process for a project that you’ll be able to include in your portfolio. You will learn how to empathize with users and understand their pain points, define user needs using problem statements, and come up with lots of ideas for solutions to those user problems.

Why Is Empathy Important? Why is it important? In short, it’s how you put the “customer” in customer experience (and “employee” in employee experience)! It’s how you put the human in the experience. It’s how you put people first.
For your customers, when you take the time to listen and to understand them, their needs, preferences, problems to solve, and jobs to be done, they feel like their voices are important to you and your brand. When you use that understanding to interact with them, to develop products and services, and to design and deliver a better experience, they feel like they matter and that you care. As a result, you’ll create loyal, long-lasting relationships with your customers. They will tell others! In the end, everyone wins.

The first guest of the series is Geoff Bickford. Geoff has a rich background in research, being very involved in the corporate environment. After realising that there was a great need for empathetic design thinking in every industry, Geoff started his company Lively. His company is a human-centred company that focuses on research, design thinking and facilitation. Lively empowers other businesses to tackle major issues with empathy and collaboration. Geoff speaks about some of the thinking that has informed his journey and his current life, touching on love, process, and people. He kicks off with an experimental exercise which is an integral part of design thinking. The experiment is based on thinking in the opposite mind frame to yours, as well as putting yourself in their position, such as a designer and a software developer.

Innovation Starts With Empathy And Culture Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella sat down with Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen (fun fact: the two went to high school together) to talk about what it takes for brands to truly innovate. Nadella pointed to the Microsoft Adaptive Controller, built to make gaming more accessible.
“[Our Adaptive Controller came from the] Xbox team who got really proximate with a community of gamers,” Nadella said. That team thought long and hard about what it could do to make gaming more accessible.” Even the packaging is accessible, he said.
“Empathy is at the core of all innovation,” Nadella said.

#EmpathyCircles: The best #Empathy building practice. http://www.empathycircle.com Successful intercultural communication depends on the personal ability to mutually understand the web of belief of the others using empathic capabilities as shown by empirical examples. Only assuming the perspective of a user by the HCI designer to grasp their needs, can lead to good user interfaces of high usability, thereby evoking excellent user experience. Hence, empathy is a key factor for the successful design of intercultural human computer interaction (HCI).

Introducing empathy internally It’s one thing to work with a company starting from scratch to recommend putting users first, but it’s a whole different game to convert existing businesses to have a user-first culture. When working with businesses that don’t have an empathy map or early-stage user research process, it can be an intimidating mountain to climb. But getting stakeholders to buy in to empathy maps is a great steering tool to move that way.

by Casey Nilsson During a lively breakout session at the 27th annual Women’s Summit® on March 14, design thinking expert and professor of Psychology, Allison Butler Ph.D., shared ways leaders can harness the power of human-centered design to manage high-performing teams at work.
“There’s less micromanaging because you are empowering people to be observant, to be curious, to see the world, and to generate their own ideas," she told the audience, a largely novice group of 50 attendees packed into a classroom in the Quinlan/Brown Academic Innovation Center. “Less apathy, more empathy.”

by ROBERTO URRUTIA MORLETT 2. Empathizing with Users The next step is to empathize with the users and gain a deeper understanding of their needs, desires, and motivations. This involves conducting user research, such as interviews, surveys, and observations, to gain insights into the user's perspective. Startups can use this information to create user personas, which are fictional characters that represent the target audience and help the team understand their needs and challenges. #EmpathyCircles: A highly effective #Empathy building practice. http://EmpathyCircle.com #EmpathyTraining: http://BestEmpathyTraining.com

Empathy over expertise The first step of the design thinking process is for the designer to empathize with the end user through close observation of the problem. While this step involves asking questions of the individuals and communities affected, the designer’s eye frames any insights that emerge. This puts the designer’s honed sense of empathy at the center of both the problem and the solution.

Five things to do before the session Follow these five steps to make your mind and research up to the point so that you will not face any difficulty in the creation of the maps. 1. Define your primary purpose for empathy mapping Before creating an empathy map, you should have a clear understanding of the importance of having one. There are two typical cases where you need to create a map: for a general understanding of your users, or for understanding a specific task or situation. For example, if you want to understand a particular user’s behavior ━ e.g. a certain kind of buying decision ━ you’ll need to create a task-based empathy map or an empathy map based on a single decision.

"Want to unleash your creativity? Don't just rely on generic, empty-calorie personas. Go out, talk to your audience, and find your muse. Empathy is crucial. The reason that “writing for one person” works is because it’s an act of empathy. You’re thinking of someone who epitomizes your audience and asking: What can I create that will help them? Teach them something new? Entertain them? Or even both? How can I help them see the world in a new way and experience wonder? Empathy is strongly linked with oxytocin production, which in turn boosts dopamine in the brain. And, oh boy, does the brain feel creative on dopamine—the feel good neurotransmitter that we spend our lives chasing along with its sidekick, serotonin. Boosting dopamine is the greatest creativity hack we’ve discovered so far." By Joe Lazauskas

The role of empathy in Design Thinking Design Thinking is about putting people at the center of your design. And to do that, you first need empathy. Empathetic design means getting into your end users’ heads to really understand their experiences and problems so you can design better solutions. (And then continue experimenting, testing, and refining those ideas until you have a solid final product.)
