Focuses On: • “what is the customer trying to do?”
• individual with hopes & challenges
• natural settings
• observations & interviews
• exploring
• meeting emotional needs
• set of hypotheses for further testing
Rather than: • “what does my organization want?”
• data point / a demographic
• focus groups
• surveys
• proving
• meeting functional needs
• set of recommendations for action
Start with the standard steps of the journey, then get emotional

You’ve just started DC’s newest party planning company: NextParty. In order to best serve your clients and their guests, you need to understand what constitutes a “great party,” this means you have to learn about your customers’ needs and expectations around parties and other social events. To do this you’ll interview a potential customer and map his/her journey of attending a great party.
Here’s how you’ll do it:
19
1. BREAK INTO TEAMS OF THREE Assign each person a role: LEAD INTERVIEWER DOCUMENTER RESEARCH PARTICIPANT
2. EXPLORE Using the a guide, the lead interviewer interviews the participant while the documenter takes notes.
3. ANALYZE As a team, make sense of the information you just learned about your research participant.
4. MAP Using the information your synthesized from your interview in step three, map your participant’s journey at great party. Do this as a team.
5. SHARE Compare your map to another team’s map. What are differences? The similarities? Based on these
Where are some places to learn more? I’m digging this design thinking thing.
