9. Seeking to Understand
Empathize mode seeks to understand the people as much as their challenge:
physical and emotional needs
opportunities and constraints
what they do and why
beliefs, values and priorities

10. Finding Insights This is an act of SENSEMAKING As a group:
Look at the small details
Look at the big picture
What are the takeaways here?

11. Finding Insights Craft a clear, simple, actionable PROBLEM STATEMENT
“Many children do not like doing homework
So they waste their time and then complain
That homework takes too long.
How might we help them become more
Efficient and focused on their homework?”

12. Brainstorming Ask: “How might we address this challenge?”
Generate the broadest range of ideas possible
Defer judgment
Choose 1 – 2 ideas to take into the next step.

13. Apply Learning Create a prototype solution that is: Modest in scale
Simple to make and execute
Won’t cost much
Something to try out for a short period of time
Remember: this is a LEARNING PROCESS

14. Applying FOR Learning
TESTING is for learning more about the challenge and the solution
Have people EXPERIENCE the solution
Seek feedback after the experience
Evaluate: “What new things have we learned about the challenge and the solution?”

Remember: this is a LEARNING PROCESS

24. Apply Learning Prototype: Weekly sessions over 6 weeks
No more than 6 students
8 volunteers: coordinator, resource person, 6 coaches
Budget: for snacks, paper, pens
Remember: this is a LEARNING PROCESS

25. Applying for Learning Evaluate: “What did we learn?”
Try to keep the same coach for the student
Six week “terms” with breaks
Accommodate religious holidays
Accommodate first language classes
Has to be more fun
Need a bigger budget for snacks!
Flexibility is preferred
