I want to improve something!

Everything we do at Machteld Faas Xander (MFX) applies our Design Thinking (DT) method, which mixes both practical and creative ways of thinking (left and right brain) to find effective solutions for human-centered problems.

We share our DT process with our clients in the Badger & Blacksmith newsletter. The B&B often features a practical tool that we use internally to solve our clients’ problems, and which you can use to help spur positive change in your own organization.

In this issue we feature the Empathy Map, a tool that quickly brings the focus back to the most important part of the innovation process—your customer. Empathy Maps can be quickly sketched on a whiteboard so that a group can identify what their target end user is hearing, thinking, seeing, saying, doing and feeling. The entire map can be completed in as little as 15 minutes. Go to page
