In Karmic Design Thinking (KDT), the Empathize phase primarily seeks to:
Validate the most feasible idea with quick customer interviews
Reveal customers' latent needs through interviews and observations
Generate list of problems and convert them into KPIs and OKRs
Prepare empathy maps, persona to help generate list of ideas to implement
A persona is most useful when it:
Lists every demographic detail for legal compliance
Profiles average customers with generic traits
Links behaviors and motivations to design implications
Predicts exact buying probability of customers
Don Norman’s idea of signifiers best aligns with:
Hidden functions that reward expert target customers
Perceptible cues indicating where actions should take place
Constraints that block incorrect actions
Aesthetic elements that delight without function
